you are right, there's no cygwin package for monotonic. I did not 
realize that, I must have installed it in the past for other stuff.

for now the workaround is to use the pip:
pip install monotonic

Now I'm working on updating to the 0.8 duplicity that do not require the 
monotonic package, so question is whether there's a need to introduce 
the python27-monotonic package.

Any opinion?
