[python-win32] creating a long-running Python COM server

The 'busy loop' looks ugly to my eyes.  It can be solved by importing
win32gui, then changing the Quit method to:

    def Quit(self):
        win32gui.PostQuitMessage(0)

and the entire busy loop gets replaced with:

    pythoncom.PumpMessages()

That obviously breaks the 'loops' variable though.

I also changed the if __name__ block to:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    register()
    main()
    unregister()

That way, running it as a script "does the right thing" in a single step.

Cheers,

Mark
