I must be missing some critical detail in your description.  Are you talking 
about two different machines, building an EXE on one and then running it on 
another?  What do you mean by "placing cygwin1.dll in the current working 
folder"?

There can be only one cygwin1.dll on the machine, put where it's supposed to be 
by using the Cygwin setup.exe.  You can't just put another copy of cygwin1.dll 
somewhere else on that machine.
