Yes, I'm using a lot of Python extensions which I might have to recompile
if I used cygwin python -- and a couple are C++, MSVC-only.  I also have
the impression (but maybe I'm wrong) that there is some overhead involved
in using programs that are linked against the cygwin dll, which I'm not
keen on (I'm doing numerical stuff).
