Thanks Jose.

It looks like we are not doing the right thing in the platform-specific 
section of code here.

But the right thing can potentially be done. 

Look here:

ftp://sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports/release/python/numpy/

It looks like somebody figured out how to make it work with cygwin (one 
option, of course is to just disable the IEEE error-setting modes for 
cygwin).
