hmm, python/cygwin modules look pretty tricky. Just noticing the comments in:

https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2/src/6c3d67ed3adb/distutils2/compiler/cygwinccompiler.py

make it clear that our SCons build scripts are not going to support building 
with this method.

There is some experimental work on using distutils with mapnik trunk sources 
here:

https://github.com/mapnik/pymapnik2

Have much experience with distutils?
