Hi,

The docs have this rule for slot initialization for the benefit of Cygwin:

   https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/db6a569de7ae595ada53b618fce6bbbd1c98d350

Synopsis
--------

  -    PyType_GenericNew,         /* tp_new */
  +    noddy_NoddyType.tp_new = PyType_GenericNew;
  +    if (PyType_Ready(&noddy_NoddyType) < 0)
  +        return;

This is absolutely not required by C99 (and probably never was).

'PyType_GenericNew' is an address constant, and MSVC supports it just
fine -- at least since VS 2008.

Does anyone know if Cygwin still misbehaves? I would like to get rid
of this arcane rule.
