I see. But if you compiled QuantLib in VC++, you'll have to use the  
same compiler for the Python extension as well---and use Python for  
Windows, not the one coming with cygwin. Cygwin will try to use gcc, so  
it will need a library compiled with gcc. You'll have to cd to the  
QuantLib-SWIG/Python directory and run "python setup.py build" from a  
DOS shell.
