Folks,

Oracle support is not included in any existing prebuilt distribution
because it requires oracle libraries to go with it which are non-free.
OpenEV 1.6.2 is using a version of GDAL after 1.1.9.  I hope to cut an
OpenEV 1.6.3 with current versions of everything soon.

I believe you can run Cygwin executables without the rest of cygwin as long
as you distribute one or two core cygwin DLLs with the .exe.  However, I
suspect it would be very difficult to do cygwin builds with some of the more
esoteric build options like oracle support.
