[Python-Dev] Tests broken on Windows

Current test_shutil is apparently trying to do something that can't
work on Windows, so it fails:

test_shutil
test test_shutil failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_shutil.py", line 28, in test_on_error
    shutil.rmtree(TESTFN, onerror=self.check_args_to_onerror)
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\shutil.py", line 168, in rmtree
    onerror(os.rmdir, path, sys.exc_info())
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_shutil.py", line 36, in
check_args_to_onerror
    self.assertEqual(func, os.remove)
AssertionError: <built-in function rmdir> != <built-in function remove>

1 test failed:
    test_shutil

After that, it leaves behind temp directories that cause other tests
to fail.  Sorry, I've got other problems on my stack, and can't make
time for this one.
