It appears that plpython was recently (i.e., 2001/05/09) added to
PostgreSQL CVS.  So the above is not necessary.

However, a small patch is necessary for plpython to build cleanly under
Cygwin.  Please get the latest PostgreSQL from CVS and apply the
attached patch.  I ran the supplied test.sh and all tests passed with
the exception of the oid related ones (which is to be expected).

I would be very interested to hear if plpython works for you in a real
application, so please let me know.

I intend improve my patch as follows:

1. add -DUSE_DL_IMPORT to CPPFLAGS in a cleaner way
2. deal with the different socket module name in Python 1.5.x and 2.x,
if possible

I will also test it out on a non-Cygwin platform to make sure that I
didn't break anything on a UNIX platform.

Once the above is completed, I will submit the patch to pgsql-patches
for consideration.

Thanks,
Jason
