I knew this when I wrote it.  I didn't have any idea how hard it would be to
fix the build to work on Windows though. :(  Scons + CYGWIN + MSVC do not get
along, at all.

I've got most of it building now.  I'll attach my first pass patch shortly.

It is *not possible* to build using a cygwin shell.  Sadly Scons requires
Windows Python in order to handle MSVC.  This is superbly lame, but do to
needing to grab at the registry to find out where MSVC is installed.  The scons
folks know about the issue, and will likely fix it at some point, but for now,
we have to install Windows Python, + the win32 python additions, (not to
mention scons itself) in order to build.
