When I was still on Windows, I used to have some Cygwin packages
installed, but the Python I used (and compiled Vim with, using the
make_cyg.mak and the Cygwin/MinGW gcc) was not from Cygwin but from
python.org itself. See
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm for details.

The vim.exe and gvim.exe which I made that way were _built_ under Cygwin
but not for _use_ under Cygwin — they were for use under Windows from a
desktop icon or a cmd.exe prompt, and did not use the cygwin1.dll
library. Also, Win64 was still a thing of the future at the time.

DISCLAIMER: The HowTo page mentioned two paragraphs above is about 1½
years old, and since I have left Windows forever I cannot check if it is
still accurate. However, even if it isn't, a "clever user" ought to be
able to fill in the gaps.


Best regards,
Tony.
