*Blink* the light bulb goes on. In looking at the new
config.nmake file in 0.8.19 I noticed PYTHON defined as
C:\Python21\python.exe.
Sure enough cygwin ships a version of Python that doesn't
work. My hack made it work for register.c, but ncp2222.py
produced an empty file. That was what was causing my link
error.

Attached is a new patch that just adds the ifdefs.
