ldd does exist under windows, albeit probably a reimplementation (based on the 
PE binary format used under windows). Now, I don't remember where it comes 
from or which package provides it, but I have it available under both cygwin 
and mingw.

Consequently, I don't know what is its license, so I can't post it to this 
mailing list. I'm looking into the origin of this program, though.

If this license happens to be not too coercive, you could simply send the 
binary, as dependencies are very simple:
ldd ldd.exe
        ntdll.dll => D:\WINNT\system32\ntdll.dll (0x78460000)
        KERNEL32.dll => D:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll (0x77e70000)
        msvcrt.dll => D:\WINNT\system32\msvcrt.dll (0x78000000)
        USER32.dll => D:\WINNT\system32\USER32.dll (0x77e00000)
        GDI32.dll => D:\WINNT\system32\GDI32.dll (0x77f40000)

All of them are system dlls, except for msvcrt which is the Microsoft Visual C 
runtime and is probably shipped by default, but otherwise available in 
"redistribuable" runtime setups.
