! \subsubsection{GNU C / Cygwin / MinGW32}

This section describes the necessary steps to use Distutils with the
! GNU C/\Cpp{} compilers in their Cygwin and MinGW32
distributions.\footnote{Check
\url{http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/} and
\url{http://www.mingw.org/} for more information}

! \XXX{For a Python which was built with Cygwin, all should work without
! any of these following steps.}
!
! These compilers also require some special libraries.
This task is more complex than for Borland's \Cpp, because there is no
program to convert the library.
