This is true to an extent. But certainly Marc Andre's modules do compile on
cygwin - licensing conditions mean they can't be distributed in pre-compiled
binary installable form. And MySQLdb also compiles. I'd like to see every
Windows-capable module run under both: it turns out you don't usually have
much to do to make the same extension install under Windows and cygwin.
