Any Cygwin application is a native Win32 application, which just happens to link with cygwin1.dll (which also is a native Win32 DLL). Just to make that clear: Everything that cygwin does is done solely with the Win32 API. The C library differs in semantics from the MS C library, but the system API is just the same.
