Just to be clear, I'm building Cygwin Python the way that I always have
(at least since my shared extension patch was accepted).  I assume you
meant that I *could* build without __declspec() declarations if I desired.
Since the __declspec's are there for Win32, I might as well use them.

Now PostgreSQL on the other hand...
