Summary: Cygwin setup.py import workaround patch
Initial Comment:
Sorry for submitting this in the 11th hour, but this patch
re-enables clean building under Cygwin. See the following
for details:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-12/msg00409.html
Unfortunately, this patch is only a build workaround and
does *not* solve the root cause which is Cygwin's problem
with DLL address clashes during fork(). Hopefully, a yet to
be instituted rebase tool will solve this problem for real.
See the following for details:

I'm rejecting this. Linking _socket statically is a better
workaround until the issue actually gets sorted out at the
cygwin end.
Jason, feel free to complain if you think this isn't the
right thing to do.

Sure. While the release candidate is officially scheduled
for Wednesday this weel, I think it'll actually be Friday.

Well, it lets Python build, but the resulting Python doesn't
work all that well.
I've just noticed that linking _socket statically seems to
cure the problem.
Can we have a few more days to fiddle with this? I wouldn't
recommend applying this patch at this stage.
