[issue12641] Remove -mno-cygwin from distutils

[Geert Jansen]

*bump*.

This is a critical bugfix that prevents I bet 90%+ of Python users on Windows compiling C extensions. It has been open for 2 years and it's a great disservice to people having to compile stuff on Windows.

Oscar has been doing a terrific job of providing man patches. May I ask that a core dev finally takes some responsibility here, signs of on the patch, and get it applied?
