Summary: Bugfix for signal-handler on x64 Platform

Initial Comment:
On x64 Platform (i used Visual Studio 2005 and 
Windows XP x64) the python.exe hang up on registering 
signal handler for none used signals. I fixed this on my 
machine with a switch-case construct for filtering the 
unsupported signals.

Point the first: please attach patches, not files.

Point the second: we think this is a microsoft bug.  Quoting
C99 (about the signal function):

    If the request can be honored, the signal function
returns the
    value of func for the most recent successful call to
signal for
    the specified signal  sig. Otherwise, a value of SIG_ERR is 
    returned and a positive value is stored in errno.

That doesn't seem to allow calling abort().

 As I think VS 2005 is still in beta, there's still hope
that this will get fixed.
