libcygwin.a is a standard import library used to provide references for
linking in a DLL. If this is still confusing I'm sure someone will
respond with references to tutorials on the subject.
There is no facility for loading cygwin statically because it has never
been developed. It is not technically infeasible but it isn't easy
either.
