Fixed: pyMinGW patched Python compiles in MinGW & passes regrtests

[A. B., Khalid]

Hello all.

This is to inform those interested in getting Python to compile in
MinGW that the pyMinGW patch is now able to help compile both Python
2.3.4 Final and Python 2.4a3 and the resulting MinGW Python passes the
regrtests as follows.


#-----------------------------------------
# Python 2.3.4 Final:
#-----------------------------------------
$ python -i
Python 2.3.4 (#53, Sep 19 2004, 03:47:39) 
[GCC 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.winver
'2.3'
>>> raise SystemExit



#-----------------------------------------
# Python 2.3.4 Final: regrtests
#-----------------------------------------
$ python -i ../Lib/test/regrtest.py -unetwork
[CUT]
215 tests OK.
40 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl
    test_commands test_crypt test_curses test_dbm test_dl
    test_email_codecs test_fcntl test_fork1 test_gdbm test_gl test_grp
    test_imgfile test_ioctl test_largefile test_linuxaudiodev
    test_macfs test_macostools test_mhlib test_mpz test_nis
    test_normalization test_openpty test_ossaudiodev test_pep277
    test_plistlib test_poll test_posix test_pty test_pwd test_resource
    test_scriptpackages test_signal test_sunaudiodev test_timing
Those skips are all expected on win32.
