[issue4373] Reference leaks in Python 3.0rc3

The problem is that on Windows (and cygwin) you cannot unlink a .pyd
that is currently loaded in memory.

I tried to use ctypes and call FreeLibrary. Now the .pyd can be removed,
but the interpreter crashes when it comes to free the module on shutdown.
I'm afraid that until python has a real support for dlclose() on dynamic
loaded module, the best is to skip this test during the refleak hunt.
