[Python-Dev] Issue2889: Add Curses for Windows as native module for 2.6

Visual Studio 2008 Express is free of charge; so you should be able to
work on this with that release.

Then there is little chance that the patch gets accepted. I will have
zero time for this until the beta release, unless the patch just needs
to be applied, compiles without changes, and passes it the test suite.
