OK.. there's just been a discussion vaguely about this subject involving a version of Cygwin called Xygwin. You might want to read through that thread, which starts here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01250.html The interesting part of the thread (for you) starts here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg01286.html
Read this carefully, find out what the people behind Xygwin failed to do with Cygwin, and do it to the cut-down version of Cygwin you want to have.
