Thomas can't you use distutils with cygwin? Looked in cygwincompiler and
it says
 .....  It also contains
the Mingw32CCompiler class which handles the mingw32 port of GCC (same
as cygwin in no-cygwin mode).

I seem to remember using this with calldll once. The main problem was
getting the right .a file for representing libpython22.
