If maintaining the "cyg" prefix is considered important, then there is
another solution...

If a Python shared extension module is called "xyzfoo.$SO" (where $SO is
so, .dll, etc.), then it must export an initialization function called
"initxyzfoo".  Therefore, cygxml2mod.dll must export "initcygxml2mod"
not "initlibxml2mod":

    $ objdump -p libxml2mod.dll | fgrep init
            [ 511] initlibxml2mod

The solution is to change the shared extension module source from:

    void
    initlibxml2mod(void)
    {
        ...
    }

to the following:

    void
#ifdef __CYGWIN__
    initcygxml2mod(void)
#else
    initlibxml2mod(void)
#endif /* __CYGWIN__ */
    {
        ...
    }

And similarly for libxslt.
