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.

There is a new Cygwin release pending 
or one can just use the "developer snapshot" of Cygwin !

FWIW - I use a slightly modified distutils as outlined in method 2 @
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/files/python/myDistutils.txt

This is on a Win2k sp2 machine and the Zope-2.4.1 tarball

% cd Zope-2.4.1-src
% python wo_pcgi.py
% ./start &

Cheers
