[issue1706] Force WINVER 0x0500 (Windows 2000)

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis added the comment:

Ah, so you propose raise WINVER, compared to what it is currently; I now
eventually understand this issue.

Raising it to 0x0500 is fine with me. Please add a note to PEP 11 that
NT 4 and older won't be supported anymore from 2.6 on. NT4 extended
support ended on 31.12.2004, so we probably don't need a phase with
advance warnings.

+1 on Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE.
