Well, you could try to build Python with Borland C++ repeatedly with
blunt instruments while crooning, but I've heard it's rather painful.

I suspect the reason Cygwin isn't being used is that YOU HAVEN'T PORTED
PYTHON TO IT, YOU LAZY BUM.  I'd be delighted to have a version of
Python I could build on the Win32 boxes I must occasionally use without
installing VC++.  So get your butt in gear.  :)
