[Python-Dev] Windows 8 support

Most likely, all versions back to Python 1.1 or so will be compatible
with Windows 8 (when 32-bit Windows support was first added to Python).

Python uses very little of the Windows API (compared to, say, a game).
Microsoft isn't going to break any of this for the next decade. Support
for 16-bit applications is being dropped, but Python didn't really
support 16-bit Windows all that well (although there was a DOS port).
