Summary: Vista compatibility patch

Initial Comment:
The source version of SpamBayes does not work properly under Vista so far.

A simple 'import win32trace' fails under Vista because normal users have not enough rights to create the FileMapping used to communicate with the trace collector.

If you start the trace collector with higher rights (start as administrator) before starting SpamBayes everyone goes well.

With this patch SpamBayes tries to load win32traceutil. If that fails it goes back to the mechanism used by the binary release and simply writes a log file in temp directory.

FYI, I will end up rejecting this patch after we manage to cut a new
release - pywin32's win32trace module should now work fine on Vista (but
you will need to build your own from CVS to confirm that until a build 211
appears).  Thanks though :)
