You are correct that cygcppunit-1-12-0.dll is required, and this 
requirement comes from the self-compiled version of CPPUnit, as outlined 
in my instructions: the Cygwin version of CPPUnit is not used.

I followed Chris' instructions for building CPPUnit locally by the 
letter, and yet this dependency exists. Perhaps there is a way to build 
that dll statically into boxi.exe?

cygwin1.dll is most certainly not required to run any of the builds.

A newer build based on Boxi R645 and Box Backup R2548 is now available 
[1] and contains only the following files:

boxi.exe
cygcppunit-1-12-1.dll (CPPUnit as described above)
mgwz.dll (MingW zlib, as opposed to building it by hand)
mingwm10.dll (MingW dll required since we use -mthreads option)

Best regards, Achim
