If you want as few Cygwin dependencies as possible...

...and all you really need to do is invoke a program, then I suggest
MinGW gcc (or Cygwin's old gcc-3 with '-mno-cygwin'). It provides a
non-Cygwin implementation of the standard C system() function. There
won't be any runtime dependencies except for dlls provided by the OS:
$cygcheck ./run_hello.exe
.\run_hello.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\msvcrt.dll
For fancier needs, consider the msw CreateProcess() system call.
