cygcheck /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_ctypes.dll

My hunch is that cygffi-4.dll cannot be found, as that is a new dep of
python ctypes.  If I'm right, install the libffi4 package and it should
work.

(Jason: libffi4 is missing from python's requires:, and libncurses9 is
still listed instead of libncursesw10.  I fixed these on sourceware;
please be sure to fix your local copy as well.)
