Darn! This thing is quite dead isn't it? :/
I installed cygwin with the gcc for c and tried it with different versions of python. I always end up having this pile of errors:

well... that was a x64 cygwin. Didn't try with a 32 one yet but with py26,27,27_64 no difference.

After all: This project has quite some dust already. Is there no alternative?!?! I can't believe nodal diffing hasen't evolved...
