[pygtk] installing pygtk on cygwin

[Patty Ackermann]

Yeah, each DLL appears once in my system. You know I discovered something
called cygwin-easy, where you can run cygwin from a CD with no installations
necessary. The best part is that anyone can create their own cygwin "live
CD" (http://code.google.com/p/cygwin-easy/wiki/CreateYourCygwinEasyDisk). Do
you think it's possible to create an live CD of your own installation and
you could distribute it to me. I would sincerely appreciate the effort.
Thanks again for all the help.
