Unfortunately there were some fundamental changes in the cygwin tools 
that are not updated in the Devel Guide.

Please do the following - as described in the Devel Guide:

- update your sources to the latest SVN (I've very recently checked in a 
fix for the setup target)
- download the required libraries by calling the setup target

In opposite to the Devel Guide (use Win32 native python instead of 
cygwins python):

- download and install native Win32 python
- change the three related settings in config.nmake to use Win32 native 
python (the cygwin python will probably not work)

Continue with the Devel Guide instructions ...
