Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:

I'm not suggesting they use cygwin. I'm saying that if they do use cygwin that 
something they currently do would stop working. There would be no way to pass a 
command line parameter of "*" to python, at least without adding more escaping 
(hard to say, documentation of setargv.obj is sparse).

Of course this would be true from any shell, I'm just familiar with the syntax 
of doing so under bash.

While it might be a separate .obj file, I believe it's still part of the 
logical C runtime that gets invoked before python's main(). Or am I missing 
something? (entirely possible, it's been a while since I've used setargv.obj)
