You have two options then (possibly only one)

1) Use a mingw-compiled version on the non-cygwin boxen
2) Copy cygwin1.dll to the other boxes and specify the path to 
codecs.conf on the commandline - be aware that the path to all dll files 
will be incorrect.

There is of course the 3rd option of installing a minimal cygwin on the 
other boxes, done by merely running setup and not changing any of the 
default options.. Though I would always strongly recommend installing 
rxvt and using it over the default cmd.exe - it's far more responsive.
