Would you like to contribute this package?

When I added shared extension support to Cygwin Python, I put
libpython2.4.dll.a in /usr/lib/python2.4/config because that was the
same directory that contains libpython2.4.a (and the other files needed
for extending/embedding) on Unix.

Which file are you referring to on Linux? libpython2.4.so? If so, it
is located in /usr/lib.

AFAICT, Distutils sets gcc's -L correctly under Cygwin.

But, where should this be fixed? Cygwin Python's shared extension
support hasn't changed in a long time. I'm afraid I'll break someone's
build, if I move libpython2.4.dll.a to another directory.
