This is some initial work to support building supported Python 3 versions on Cygwin. Although Python 2.7 already works on Cygwin, Python 3.2 and up require either updated or additional patches.
These Python 3 builds can't be said to be 100% working since they don't pass all the tests. Some of that is issues with the tests themselves though (I have personally been working on a set of patches to cpython to get Cygwin support up to speed again, and may include some of those her later).
The ugly repetitious nature of this motivates #979 which might be nice to have first.
