Why would anyone want to do that, wxWidgets can be built with native
Windows support.

No, because:

* Cygwin GUI programs should always be X11, with a few notable exceptions.
* I would rather rename gtk2-x11 to gtk2, as there is no reason for a
gtk2-win32 in the distro, and the latter would have to be installed into
a different prefix in any case.
* There's no sane way to install more than one PyGTK build, so there
could never be a pygtk2-win32 (even if there were a gtk2-win32).
