[python-win32] Compiling Python as a static .exe

[Russell Wallace]

The '...' is the long list of source files I got from pythoncore.vcproj,
plus getbuildinfo.c, and the required include directives. You would think a
missing main function would be the explanation, but the absence of a
leading _ in the error message is a key indicator. To make sure, I tried
adding a main function by hand, and also wmain just in case, and the error
still occurs.
