The patch shouldn't be necessary at all, or something around the lines of

    vars = sysconfig.get_config_vars('CC', 'CXX', 'OPT', 'BASECFLAGS', 
'CCSHARED', 'LDSHARED', 'SO', 'INCLUDEPY', 'LDFLAGS')
    for i in range(len(vars)):
        if vars[i] is None:
            vars[i] = []
    (cc, cxx, opt, basecflags, ccshared, ldshared, so_ext, includepy, ldflags) 
= vars

is wrong - or distutils is broken on cygwin.
