Cygwin

For Cygwin without XFree86, the usual installation procedure is used:

   python setup.py config
   python setup.py install

If you want to use Cygwin with the XFree86 implementation of the X Windows System, you need to add --x11 to these commands:

   python setup.py config --x11
   python setup.py install --x11

For Python versions older than 2.3, for the config step it is necessary to specify the Cygwin compiler explicitly by adding --compiler=cygwin:

   python setup.py config --compiler=cygwin

or

   python setup.py config --compiler=cygwin --x11

The install command does not change.
