I'm getting errors installing the Zope and Twisted Python modules:

gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base 
build/temp.cygwin-1.5.25-i686-2.5/twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.o -L. -lpython2.5 
-o build/lib.cygwin-1.5.25-i686-2.5/twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.dll

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot 
find -lpython2.5

The problem is Cygwin has the Python library somewhere else, with a
different name. Changing "-L. -lpython2.5" to "-L/lib/python2.5/config
-lpython2.5.dll" works.

However, doing that manually for all of the Twisted packages is
painful.

Does anyone know where in the Python build scripts this option is
specified? Editing that file once would be simpler.
