Since you are using a Win32 Python (i.e., not Cygwin Python), then you
must built your Python extensions with Mingw gcc or Cygwin gcc with the
-mno-cygwin option (i.e., Mingw mode).  See the following for a good,
but somewhat dated, tutorial:

    http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/mingw32/Notes.html

Another option is to use Distutils since it knows how to build Win32
Python extensions using either Mingw gcc or Cygwin gcc -mno-cygwin.
