Summary: Size of time_t changed to 64 bits in MSVC++ 2005 CRT

Initial Comment:
As of Visual C++ 2005, the size of the time_t data type
was changed from 32 bits to 64 bits.  Among other
things, this breaks the C API test in the Python "test"
package, because Python thinks that time_t should be 32
bits large.  Altering PC/pyconfig.h by conditionally
defining SIZEOF_TIME_T depending on whether at least
MSVC++ 2005 is being used for compilation fixes this.

Attached is a very simple unified diff patch for
PC/pyconfig.h, taken from revision 42382 (the most
recent revision at the time of this submission).
