Re: Cygwin Patch

[Jason T. <Jas...@do...>]

My Cygwin patches to Python have been accepted into Python CVS so
Cygwin Python has supported shared extensions since 2.1a1.  I have
redone my Cygwin python-ldap patch against the current python-ldap CVS.
Please consider this patch for acceptance into python-ldap CVS.

The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:

    $ # save the attachment to /tmp
    $ cd python-ldap/Modules
    $ patch </tmp/cygwin.patch

See the following for my original posting:
