AFAICT, Cygwin Python uses the normal Python layout.

On Cygwin, we have:

     $ ls /usr/lib/python2.4/config
     Makefile  Setup.config  config.c     install-sh          makesetup
     Setup     Setup.local   config.c.in  libpython2.4.dll.a  python.o

and on Linux, we have:

    $ ls usr/lib/python2.4/config
    Makefile  Setup.config  config.c     install-sh      makesetup
    Setup     Setup.local   config.c.in  libpython2.4.a  python.o
