you're creating a python-2.6 file, which does _not_ exist in the cygwin 
build... thats the actual problem... you'll have to try with only the 
.exe and -config file, but without the file without extension for the 
cygwin case. the same expression has to work for the _other_ case, where 
there is a python-2.6 without .exe and the -config file...

wow... anybody understands this? :) slightly messy thought-flow...
