Don't mix Python extensions for native Python with Cygwin extensions.
They're not compatible. Why do you want to use Cygwin's Python instead
of the normal win32 Python, anyway?  It's main purpose is, as with all
Cygwin programs, to be able to run Unixoid Python extensions on
Windows. Do you really need to do this?
