If you use Cygwin, your users will need a complete Cygwin
installation, including the Python that comes with cygwin; you will
not be able to use your extension modules with PythonLabs Python,
ActivePython, or the Win32 extensions.

If you use Mingw, it probably will not work without tricks being done
to the import library.
