Summary: Cygwin installer should create a link to libpython2.5.dll.a

Initial Comment:
Installer should create a link to
/usr/lib/python25/config/libpython2.5.dll.a in /usr/lib

/usr/lib/python25/config is *not* in the linker path
and build extensions using distutils don't work. Create
a link in /usr/lib fixes the problem.

Another option is to change distutils to add
/usr/lib/python25/config to linker path on cygwin
platforms.
