What is needed - not always presented.

Cygwin is very different platform, 
python rebuild on Cygwin is supported here, yes, but this is very 
different matter.

But I was talking about Windows, not Cygwin,

Rebuild of Python on windows (without Cygwin) not supported,
I was surprised to discover that and I will be gladly accept and use it
When it eventually will support GCC+Windows rebuild.

There are some blogs on Internet about someone who eventually 
did a build on windows with GCC, but - 
why this effort wasn't propagated into python mainstream?

Most of those mentioned blogs are from 2006 or 2008; rather obsolete and could 
not be easily reused

mentions
GCC - MinGW (x86)
MinGW is an alternative C/C++ compiler that works with all Python versions up to 3.4.

BUT this is just fake - no, the instruction is unfinished and does not work even supposed to work
