[Python-Dev] Reworking the GIL

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello again,

I've now removed priority requests, tried to improve the internal doc a 
bit, and merged the changes into py3k.

Afterwards, the new Windows 7 buildbot has hung in test_multiprocessing, 
but I don't know whether it's related.

Regards

Antoine.
