I would really like to help you out on these wide-API tasks, but it is 
unlikely I will ever have much time in the next weeks (till May, let's 
say). Is there a todo list, a wiki, a keyword to use when searching for 
bugs, etc.? Anything to see what still needs to be done, who's doing it, 
etc.

BTW: is there a long-time plan to make the Python core *not* link against 
msvcrt dll anymore but only rely on Windows APIs (or maybe also the 
static C runtime, I don't really care)?

OK. I'll have a look at issue 2128 during next week and come back with 
something.
