I am still occasionally trying to get Zope to compile with Cygwin.

Unfortunately ExtensionBuilder.py does not seem to work

The good news is that Distutils < usually > works just fine,
or at least can be easily tweaked too.  :-)

So my question is 
"What will it take to get a Distutils setup,py script written for Zope" ?

Can I just use the ExtensionClass setup.py as a template for the
various components ?
