    Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py(build_ext.finalize_options): Add
    Cygwin specific code to append Python's library directory to the
    extension's list of library directories.

    (build_ext.get_libraries): Add Cygwin specific code to append Python's
    (import) library to the extension's list of libraries.
