Summary: native win32 threading primitives

Initial Comment:
The "threading" module provides five synchronization
primitives: Lock, RLock, Condition, Semaphore, and
Event.

This patch is a module, "winthreading", that provides
native C implementations (using Win32 directly) of
these objects.  Benchmark code runs several times
to several hundred times faster using winthreading.

winthreading.c is intended as a drop-in replacement
for these five pieces of threading.py:

  # At the end of threading.py; replace
  # Python synch primitives with native version,
  # if available.
  try:
      from winthreading import *
  except ImportError:
      pass


The ZIP file attached includes source and MSVC6
project files.  The source is compatible with
Python 2.2.

A prebuilt .PYD will follow.
