BTW, I would suggest configuring as follows:

    $ configure --with-threads=no

Cygwin Python with threads was just "born" and hence a little shaky
yet.

The above is due to no symbols being exported from the DLL.  Defined the
initialization function using the DL_EXPORT macro.  For example, assuming
that the initialization function is called init_numpy, define it as follows:

    DL_EXPORT(void)
    init_numpy(void)
    {
        ...
    }
