Question concerning bundling cygwin with another application


Dear Sir or Madam,

i'm currently developing a non-commerical software under GPL for my modell railroad. It uses SRCP as a client, a protocoll for controlling model railroads. The only SRCP-Server available is the SRCPD which is written for Linux/Unix/Cygwin. Now i want to bundle the compiled SRCPD (non-commerical open source, can be found under www.sf.net) with the cygwin-dlls and the bash.exe to run it. Here are the needed dlls/exes:

   * cygintl-8.dll
   * cygioperm-0.dll
   * cygreadline6.dll
   * cygwin1.dll
   * cygxml2-2.dll
   * cygz.dll
   * bash.exe

Now my questions:

   * Is it possible to bundle these dlls, since both projects are under
     GPL and non-commercial ? What do i have to do (f.e. Should i
     mention cygwin somewhere ....) ?
   * Which apps / dlls etc are not meant to be used that way (to be
     bundled with GPL-SW, f.e.) ?

Thanks in advance.

With kind regards,
Nils Brönner
