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:
