I added a setup.py, disabled recv_bytes_into for now and fixed lots of
naming issues. The multiprocessing code is using the new names of the
threading module (current_thread, is_alive etc.) but Python 2.5 just
have the old names (currentThread, isAlive).

$ python2.5 setup.py build_ext -i
$ PYTHONPATH=Lib python2.5 Lib/test/test_multiprocessing.py
