It works.  Do you want to see the patches or shall I just check the
changes in?

BTW, _cursesmodule.c doesn't compile; you get things like:

Warning: resolving _stdscr by linking to __imp__stdscr (auto-import)
Warning: resolving _LINES by linking to __imp__LINES (auto-import)
Warning: resolving _COLS by linking to __imp__COLS (auto-import)
Warning: resolving _newscr by linking to __imp__newscr (auto-import)

and contrary to README, test_poll and threads seem to work fine.

test_strftime is still bust, though:

158 tests OK.
1 test failed:
    test_strftime
26 tests skipped:
    test_al test_bsddb test_cd test_cl test_curses test_dbm test_dl
    test_gl test_imgfile test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev test_locale
    test_minidom test_nis test_ntpath test_openpty test_pty
    test_pyexpat test_sax test_socket_ssl test_socketserver
    test_sunaudiodev test_sundry test_unicode_file test_winreg
    test_winsound
Ask someone to teach regrtest.py about which tests are
expected to get skipped on cygwin.

Cheers,
M.
