When using pip install pyperclip on latest Cygwin (Windows 10) using Python 3.4.3 installation fails:

Collecting pyperclip

The same problem with ctypes.wintypes import...

Maybe we should implement cygwin copy/paste functions using /dev/clipboard. Guys, what do you think?

With the recent merges, cygwin support now mostly works so I'm closing this issue.

Any way to suppress the warning message? Things are working well for me on Cygwin.
