Try installing with Pyrex-0.9.3 as the current directory instead.

D:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\Pyrex-0.9.3>d:\Python23\python setup.py install

Good luck. Unless you have compiled Python extension modules in cygwin or
mingw before it is an involved process. And I have never successfully done
it using distutils. Section 6.2.2 of Installing Python Modules is the place
to start. But it might be simpler to install a cygwin version of Python
and use it instead.
