Hugh,

As of last week, I have a releasable Cygwin Python 2.6 with the
following caveats:

1. It is not built against libncursesw-devel, but Python 2.6 added
ncursesw support.

2. Yaakov recently created a libffi patch that I haven't had a chance to
test yet.

I would like to release an experimental Cygwin Python 2.6 and then
resolve the above (IMO) minor issues in a follow-up release.  Any
objections?

Thanks,
Jason
