I've added workarounds for Cygwin-Python problems, so that `it works'
on Cygwin too.

Lots of caveats apply (registry, in-use files), but even if you don't
use it to install or remove software, it may be handy to query the
available packages or installed files
$ cyg-apt update
...
$ cyg-apt list
_update-info-dir 230-1
ash 20040127-1
autoconf 2.59-1
autoconf-devel 2.59-1
autoconf-stable 2.13-5
...
$ cyg-apt search music
lilypond - A program for printing sheet music
lilypond-doc - LilyPond documentation.
$ cyg-apt find /usr/bin/abc2ly
lilypond: /usr/bin/abc2ly
$ cyg-apt new
error: libkpathsea4 not in [curr]
libncurses-devel 5.4-1
ncurses 5.4-1
readline 5.0-1
tiff 3.7.0.beta.2-1
$ cyg-apt search | wc -l
524
Wow, do we have 524 packages?
Jan.
