Subject: compiling python extensions under Cygwin

Hi--

I'm trying to move some python extensions from Linux to Cygwin, 
and I don't know how to compile them properly.  Searching the web 
didn't yield much info, so any examples/howtos would be greatly 
appreciated.

Specific questions:

1.  Cygwin python (2.1.1) doesn't seem to import ".so" files, so I 
assume that I must compile to ".dll"  Could someone confirm this?
Are there alternatives?

2.  When I try to create a ".dll" using the information on the Cygwin 
website, I get a linker warning saying that it could not find a 
reference to mainCRTStartup (even though my extension does not 
have any GUI).  Importing the resulting .dll leads to a segfault.  
What gives?

Thanks for reading this far and for any pointers to resources on the 
web or in print.

--Cliff
