I'm sorry, I should have specified what version I was using in my original
email.  I'm using this version:

  http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-experimental-0.6.0.tar.gz

Is that what you're referring to as beta1?  I assume you saw the patch I
posted to mxEXPERIMENTAL.py where the distutils package is defined.  I was
able to install it successfully on cygwin simply by explicitly specifying
the library:

Of course, I'm not a master at using either gcc or distutils, so there may
be an obvious reason why my patch is braindead.

I really appreciate this package.  In particular I'm using mxTidy and it
works dandy.  Thanks!

Cheers,
