Take a tour of hell's seedier neighborhoods to try to make winsound.Beep()
do something non-useless on Win9X boxes.  WinME unknown to me.  Someone with
NT/2000 make sure it still works there!

  - Build:  Subproject _test (effectively) renamed to _testcapi.
  
+ - winsound module:  Under Win9x, winsound.Beep() now attempts to simulate
+   what it's supposed to do (and does do under NT and 2000) via direct
+   port manipulation.  It's unknown whether this will work on all systems,
+   but it does work on my Win98SE system now and was known to be useless on
+   all Win9x systems before.
