Maybe the Cygwin swig maintainer can help here. This is one reason why
posting is better than private email.

The above is due to the Cygwin rebase issue:

Maybe someone on the list has built or attempted to build Cygwin
PyOpenGL before. This is another reason why posting is better than
private email.

I'm sorry my plate is full -- actually, overflowing. Maybe someone on
the list has the same itch and some spare cycles. This is yet another
reason why posting is better than private email.

You are welcome.
