Maybe my pyMinGW can help you. Though still not 100% done, pyMinGW
includes a patch to distutils so as (among other things) to fix that
which you ask about.

Read about pyMinGW here:
http://jove.prohosting.com/iwave/ipython/pyMinGW.html

There is also a CPP-Swig example found in the Mingw\extensions
directory of both py24a3MinGW-004a.zip, and py234MinGW-015.zip.

Before you do anything, please backup the following files:

    [1] Lib/distutils/ccompiler.py
    [2] Lib/distutils/cygwinccompiler.py
    [3] Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py
    [4] Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py


in case you don't like the patch, and would like to restore your
distutils to its original state. Once you've done that then you can
replace those four files with the ones in the patch. Hopefully that'll
do it for you.
