FYI

To force static build of the extensions I tweak source of
distutils/cygwinccompiler.py
After lineno 299 I have added:

#TODO enable to force static build
if False:
    shared_option = "-mdll -static"

and change "False" into "True" whenever I build python-ldap.
It seems to work.

If you find a more elegant way of doing it please share.
