For a cygwin executable you can use cygcheck ie.

bash-2.04$ cygcheck tux_example.exe
Found: .\tux_example.exe
.\tux_example.exe
  c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\KERNEL32.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\GLU32.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSVCRT.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OPENGL32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CRTDLL.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADVAPI32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\GDI32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DCIMAN32.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\USER32.dll
  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\glut32.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINMM.dll
  c:\cygwin\bin\cygpng2.dll
    c:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll

But be advised as to the requirements for distributing the cygwin dll
