I used cygwin to create this patch, but platform.architecture()[1]
becomes empty string because sys.executable in cygwin points to
directory. (at least before installing)

Python 2.6b3+ (trunk:66142M, Sep  2 2008, 17:09:46)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'/home/WhiteRabbit/python-dev/trunk/python'

I workarounded this by inserting "target = './python.exe'" in
_syscmd_file, but sorry if this patch won't work.
