Summary: test_sre.py fails on Win64 because PyOS_CheckStack *never* f

Details: There is a small thread on python-dev discussing this:

   http://www.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2000-October/016455.html

Basically I found that PyOS_CheckStack does not fire as expected on Win64. Looking into this more I got frustrated with PyOS_CheckStack's behaviour on *Win32*. There is a simple workaround (the existing RECURSION_LIMIT framework) that could simply be turned on to ensure that test_[s]re.py run for Python 2.0. The PyOS_CheckStack behavious on Win64 can be figured out when it become more mainstream.

The proposed fix is:
