Antoine: of course, sorry for rushing you.

Martin, 
This is an XP patch.  The "vista" option is put in there as a compile time option, and disabled by hand.  I'm not adding any apis that weren't already in use since the new gil (windows Semaphores).

Incidentally, we should make sure that python defines NTDDI_VERSION to NTDDI_WINXP (0x05010000), either in the sources before including "windows" (tricky) or in the solution (probably in the .prefs files)

This will ensure that we don't attempt to use non-existent features, unless we dynamically check for them.
