Cygwin spkg-check meta-ticket

[embray]

I'm running the spkg-check scripts for each standard package (I haven't normally built with SAGE_CHECK=yes). It could reveal some bugs that are not caught by Sage's test suite, but that could nevertheless affect Sage.

For now I will just list packages whose tests are failing for me; I will open separate tickets for individual packages that look worth investigating (for example, the failures in cysignals are worth looking into; whereas the failing tests for curl maybe not so much as it is not a direct dependency of Sage...). The packages that have failing checks/tests are:

• curl (7.53.1)
• cysignals (1.3.2)
• cython (0.25.2.p0)
• flint (2.5.2.p1)
• giac (1.2.3.25)
• pcre (8.40)
• python2 (2.7.13.p1)
• python3 (3.5.1)
• r (3.3.3.p2)
• zeromq (4.2.5)

zeromq is also failing. I don't know if it passed earlier but IIRC it did not , and was just left off this ticket by mistake.
