[python-win32] More details of Python Win degredation

[Bob Gailer]

What I see:

Python Win loads very slowly.

On debugging I get a LoadBarState failed - LoadBarState failed (with win32 
exception!).

Returning later and trying to open a file I get:

   File "L:\Python23\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\mfc\docview.py", 
line 91, in CreateNewFrame
     wnd.LoadFrame(self.GetResourceID(), -1, None, context)      # triggers 
OnCreateClient...
win32ui: LoadFrame failed
win32ui: CreateNewFrame() virtual handler (<bound method 
SyntEditTemplate.CreateNewFrame of 
<pywin.framework.editor.color.coloreditor.SyntEditTemplate instance at 
0x0109D9B8>>) raised an exception
TypeError: PyCTemplate::CreateNewFrame must return a PyCFrameWnd object.

Going into debug - first the 3 extra debugger windows appear. Starting a 
2nd debugging gives:
LoadBarState failed - LoadBarState failed (with win32 exception!) and the 3 
windows do not appear.

I am really sad and frustrated, because I have used Python Win for over a 
year with great success. I love it. I do not know what I will replace it 
with, but as of now it does not work. All my other Windows programs seem to 
work fine. (MS Word, FoxPro, etc).
