title: How do you compile a PHP extension on windows with cygwin/mingw?
body: <p>I am trying to build the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/php-rabbit/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RabbitMQ PHP wrapper</a> and the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/php-amqp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">AMPQ PHP wrapper</a> on Windows (64) using Cygwin.
  I have successfully built the underlying C library (librabbitmq.dll) but I am stuck at the 'phpize' step:</p>
  
  <p><code>phpize &amp;&amp; ./configure --with-rabbit &amp;&amp; make &amp;&amp; sudo make install</code></p>
  
  <p>If I understand correctly, there is no 'phpize' on windows, so how do I build my PHP wrapper?</p>
  
  <p>Note that I'm totally new to building PHP extensions (be it on linux or windows).</p>
