Building on win32 without cygwin

Hi, I'm trying to build Synopsis on win32 without Cygwin. Im using a 
variety of win32 tools to do this, like mingw, pthread-win32 etc. My 
problem is that in the setup.py it calls the configure scripts like this:
C:\development\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe -c 
"../../../../../../Synopsis/Parsers/Cxx/co
nfigure --with-python=`cygpath -a C:\\DEVELO~1\\Python23`/python.exe"

Which doesnt work because i dont have cygpath. Im not familiar enough 
with distutils to fix this. I have succeded in compile the Cxx parser on 
its own, but it would be nice to have the rest working. Any help would 
be awesome!

Thanks,
Mike
