Perhaps I'm confused, but I have an old (>3 months) version of Cygwin, but when I installed the Win32 Python 2.1.1 release, I was able to build extension modules just fine using distutils, after I built an import library. You shouldn't need VC++ to build Zope extensions, just distutils and gcc. Be sure to use (the equivalent of):
python211 setup.py build --compiler=mingw32

I had a brief conversation with the Cygwin Python maintainer a little while back, supposedly the next release of Cygwin will have a threaded Python (2.1.1 or maybe even higher).

FYI I finally have a Cygwin compiled Zope running in a Cygwin enviroment. This is with the very latest Cygwin distribution augmented by a locally compiled Cygwin as represented by the current Cygwin CVS files.
Cool! This is excellent. This means that I stand a shot at getting rid of 200 miserable MB of VC++ on my machine.
I presume this means that Cygwin Python ships with threads enabled?
