Jason, about this:
However, using the next Cygwin gcc (i.e., 2.95.2-8 or later) will require one to configure with:
CC='gcc -mwin32' configure ...
How can we make that info *useful* to people?
I have posted to the Cygwin mailing list and C.L.P regarding my original 2.0 patches. I have also continue to post to Cygwin regarding 2.1a1 and 2.1a2. I intended to do likewise for 2.1b1, etc.
The target audience for the Cygwin port probably doesn't search Python-Dev or the Python patches database.
Agreed -- the above was only offered to the curious Python-Dev person and not for archival purposes.
So it would be good if you thought about uploading an informational patch to README and Misc/NEWS briefly telling Cygwin folks what they need to know. If you do, I'll look for it and check it in.
I will submit a patch to README to add a Cygwin section to "Platform specific notes". Unfortunately, I don't think that I can squeeze it in by 2.1b1. If not, then I will submit it for the next release (2.1b2 or 2.1 final). I also don't mind waiting for the Cygwin gcc stuff to settle down too. I know...excuses, excuses...
As promised: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=413750&group_id=5470&atid=305470 Note that the following goofiness: CC='gcc -mwin32' configure ... is no longer needed.
