Very nice! Did the C code have to change at all? If so, is there an issue
in the CPython tracker to get the changes included upstream?

I will hold 2.7.5 until this is integrated.

For now I think we can include it in the main repo if we have to, but I'd
prefer not.

Much of cmd.exe batch and msbuild, I'm reasonably skilled in the arkane
magicks of languages no sane person would ever use. :)

The difficulty will be in making sure that only one copy of the Python
launcher is installed. I'll have to decompile the CPython MSI and brush up
on component rules to make sure that if we need an updated binary it gets
installed, and that IP doesn't overwrite any other changes (it just merges
them with the existing ones).
