There seems to be problems to get pyusb to work under Cygwin.

The author asks if Cygwin libusb-1.0 should use stdcall or not?

Normal Python under Windows can support either cdecl (CDLL) or
stdcall (WinDLL). The problem is that Cygwin Ctypes only supports
cdecl. Therefore it is not possible to load cygusb-1.0.dll and pyusb's
libusb-1.0 backend will not work under Cygwin as a result.

Just wondering why Ctypes under Cygwin does not support
WinDLL? Take note os.name == 'posix' under Cygwin Python.
I have updated Cygwin installation to the latest version.
