Installing python's pypiwin32

Yes, you can use the ctypes module [1] for this sort of thing:
import ctypes
user32=cdll.LoadLibrary('/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/User32.dll')
mbw=getattr(user32,"MessageBoxW")
mbw(0,"Hello World","Caption",2)
.. but I think the ctypes module on Cygwin's Pythons should support
the windll stuff out of the box and it doesn't seem to, then you could
just do ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(...) instead.
