For the record, this was already tried (using a combination of .bat

simple spkg
one, and it was Windows-only and had to be maintained completely
separately.
Given the amount of other stuff that needs to be bundled, we might
as well
get the whole thing. (Could it be completely separate from an
existing
Cygwin, or is there only room for one Cygwin on a computer?) Also, as
mentioned %cython in the notebook couldn't work without gcc.
An arbitrary number of Cygwin's can happily coexist. This is a brand
new feature of the newest version of Cygwin.
That's excellent--just in time for our re-investment in a Windows port
too.
