Summary: Fix VC6 build, remove redundant files for VC7 build

Initial Comment:
The VC6 build for pythoncore (PC/VC6/pythoncore.dsp) was shipped broken in 2.5.  This fixes it, as well as updating it for Python 2.6, and you can now once again produce python.exe (and python_d.exe) using VC6.  (This fix could easily be backported to 2.5; I would be happy to submit that separately.)

The VC7 build for pythoncore (PCBuild/pythoncore.vcproj) has two instances of "sha512module.c" and "signalmodule.c".  While this is harmless, it is also totally unnecessary.  The only change was to remove those two files.

I built all four exes (python|python_d built with vc6|vc7) and ran the regression tests on them.  They passed all expected tests except for the four modules I didn't build (tcl, sqlite, bz2, and bsddb).

The patch is in the form of a zip file containing the build files themselves rather than a patch.  This is because PC/VC6/pythoncore.dsp is marked as a binary file in svn, so "svn diff" declined to produce a good diff.  I'm not sure *why* the file is marked this way; perhaps it's overly sensitive to EOL conventions?  Anyway, I thought it best to honor this, and it was simpler to submit both as a single zip than as a zip and a patch, so here you are.
