Thanks. I asked in the Cygwin mailing list and the answer suggested
that Cygwin Python should be able to support WinDLL technically
but it has not been implemented yet.

Both libffi and Ctypes should support stdcall.
I'm helping out with the perl Ctypes equivalent,
and cdecl, stdcall and both 64bit fastcalls do
work perfectly there.

It just looks like cygwin python has no WinDLL support yet.
