Summary: cygwinccompiler should set C++ compiler

Initial Comment:
When C++ linking gotcha that have persisted in distutils 
was fixed in Python 2.3, I was glad. Unfortunately, it 
seems MinGW (I suspect same for Cygwin) was not fixed 
at the time.

cygwinccompiler currently does not set compiler_cxx, so 
linking C++ just fails, even though all the machinery 
needed for linking C++ is there.

Fix is simple, and I thank niemeyer and people involved 
for fixing #413582.
