[issue7346] Redirected stdout fires [Errno 9]

Yes, mingw uses a different C runtime (msvcrt.dll) than Python (msvcr90.dll), so file descriptors are completely different and this causes the error.

I can see two solutions:

- Use the same compiler as python26; I've also heard about a way to force mingw to use msvcr90.dll.

- Avoid to pass mingw file descriptors to the python interpreter.  This requires more work: create a PyTypeObject that mimics a file object, and set this as sys.stdout. It should be enough to implement .write() and .flush(); you can use the C system calls (fwrite, fflush or whatever) there, and the file descriptors are used in a consistent way.
