Well, I'm not quite so confident.  Just because it works for one module, 
doesn't mean I've got it right.

But this change seems pretty low-impact since it should only change the 
behaviour for setup.py-less modules, which can't build at all presently, 
so I included it in cygport 0.35.5

Thanks for testing.
