hum, I think it would also require a change to the python C file
to rename the entry point too, otherwise a simple
try:
import libvirtmod
except:
import cygvirtmod
might have done it.

I must admit I'm wondering a bit about ln -s reliability in a Windows
environment ... maybe the above try:/except: plus a change at the end of
python/libvir.c adding
#ifdef CYGWIN
void
initcygvirtmod(void)
{
initlibvirtmod();
}
#endif
might be a bit more reliable,
But if the current solution works :-) fine by me +1
