I was under the impression that it the fact that cygwin1.dll and MSVCRT.DLL
define the same symbols that prevent them from being used together. Is this
wrong?

I'm still not sure what you mean by "master runtime library". If
        
        foo.dll -> MSVCRT.DLL
        bar.dll -> cygwin1.dll

and frotz.exe links with foo.dll and bar.dll, where is the conflict?
