Summary: Cygwin Build Attempt

Initial Comment:
Trying to build PyXML from source under Cygwin and 
install it with the Cygwin build of Python is pretty 
frustrating. Following some clues I found via Google, 
it looks like use of the DL_EXPORT macro is pretty 
handy. The next problem was the linker complaining 
that it couldn't find the (static) PyBoolean_Type to 
export it, so I removed static. 

Now it builds. Whee! 

Lots of tests fail, but that also happens with the 
PyXML 0.6.5 Windows distribution kit, so I figure you 
know about some of them already.

Failed test results after applying the patch to either 
PyXML 0.6.5 or the current CVS contents: 

test test_howto crashed -- exceptions.TypeError : 
__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
test test_marshal crashed -- exceptions.TypeError : 
__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
test test_minidom failed -- Writing: 'Test Failed: ', 
expected: 'Passed testAA'
test test_sax crashed -- exceptions.TypeError : 
__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
test test_saxdrivers crashed -- exceptions.TypeError : 
__init__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
