I've never tried to run PyOpenGL under cygwin, so I'm somewhat at a loss 
here.  It looks as though there's a problem with the library finding 
function in ctypes.  It's possible we could just catch the OSError and 
try loading the bald function.  It might work, but it's just as likely 
to wind up doing nothing at all.

See platform/ctypesloader.py for the code that does the load.  The use 
of the GLX platform seems like it might cause problems?  But then I 
suppose you're using an X-windows server under cygwin, not mingw32 so 
GLX would make sense.

Good luck,
Mike
