Cygwin 1.1.8 Python 2.1a2 Builds OOTB


Python 2.1a2 builds OOTB under Cygwin 1.1.8 or later.  One should use
the following when configuring:

    configure --with-threads=no --with-libm= --with-suffix=.exe

Note that the "--with-check-import-case" option is no longer needed for
Cygwin.  In fact, a different case-sensitive import patch was accepted
into Python CVS.  It was really for MacOSX, but it works for Cygwin too.

See the following, if interested:

    http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103495&group_id=5470

Unfortunately, this patch may be removed from Python CVS.  I'm currently
in the process of facilitating its (or a modified version's) retention.
Any support from the Cygwin community would be appreciated.  The right
place to post is python-dev@python.org but it is a by-approval only list.
So the only avenues are at the above URL or python-list@python.org.

Thanks,
Jason
