I have never encounterd such a long pause while lunching, neither with a 
MinGW build, nor with cygwin build, neither double-clicking the exe, nor 
running it in the posix-environment (MSYS or cygwin bash)

If you do not need some of the libs, let it be. And one has to comile 
the libs only once, than mplayer is linked against them everytime you 
run ./configure && make && make install.
cygwin should have precompiled packages for most of the libs anyway.
