As of last week, I have a releasable Cygwin Python 2.6 with the
following caveats:
1. It is not built against libncursesw-devel, but Python 2.6 added
ncursesw support.
2. Yaakov recently created a libffi patch that I haven't had a chance to
test yet.
I would like to release an experimental Cygwin Python 2.6 and then
resolve the above (IMO) minor issues in a follow-up release. Any
objections?
Thanks,
Jason
