Summary: setup.py fails

Initial Comment:
setup.py (pywin32-212.zip) fails when invoked from cygwin with Python 2.5.2 with the following messages:

import: unable to open X server `'.
import: unable to open X server `'.

IMHO, setup.py should *not* fail, instead it should politely inform that cygwin installs are not supported.

Message:
The problem is cygwin doesn't like \r\n line endings.  There is nothing I
can do about that and no way I can make the script politely complain -
cygwin will not even *start* the script so I can output an error.
