In Linux passing an empty string to ctypes.CDLL("") will return a handle to the current process, this can be useful to get to extra functions when Python is embedded.  On Windows this trick fails, and raises a WindowsError.

As a workaround i tried loading cygwin1.dll from ctypes and using dlopen directly, but the call blocks and never returns.
