I've already tried.

When compiling with -mno-cygwin,

(a) without installing msys and mingw (the runtime is automatically installed
with cygwin though, but I'm talking about the compilers) make complains 
because
it can't find cc1plus.
(b) after installing msys/mingw, the compilation starts properly but 
the process
then fails and complains that it can't find the definition for the "no" bool
constant.

I've tried various configurations (configuring with cygwin and 
compiling inside
msys, configuring & compiling with msys, configuring & compiling with cygwin
with -mno-cygwin...). I'm going to try installing mingw from cygwin instead of
installing it separately.

However, Patrick succeeded with the Python bindings and he didn't mention any
-mno-cygwin issue...
