this step does not work. My python lives at C:\bin\Python25. The configure
script dies with error:

../../../src/configure: line 4294: /cygdrive/c/binPython25/python.exe: No
such file or directory

there seems to be a missing / after "bin". We should be looking for:
/cygdrive/c/bin/Python25/python.exe
where\when is the $PYTHON variable set?

This sounds good, but you will still depend on an environment emulating a
unix like system (i.e. cygwin). cygwin or mingw will be always needed to
build Synopsis right ?

Building natively would also require to call nmake, which is a version of
make in the MSVC environment. Nmake has it own flags and way of doing
things.
