Update the various project files with Python/random.c which was recently added.
On my old Windows XP computer:
- VS8.0 works reasonably.
- I don't have the VS7.1 compiler.
- VC6 does not compile, at least with the SDK shipped with the compiler (12 years ago!); newer SDKs might work.

Defined Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE also on VC6.
........
* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr() can now open capsules. This addresses
most of the remaining backwards-compatibility concerns about
the conversion of Python 2.7 from CObjects to capsules.
* CObjects were marked Pending Deprecation.
* Documentation about this pending deprecation was added to
cobject.h.
* The capsule source files were added to the legacy PC build
processes.
- PC/VC6/_bsddb.dsp:
removed '/nodefaultlib:"msvcrt"' to fix linker error.
- PC/VC6/_msi.dsp, PC/VC6/pcbuild.dsw:
added new module support.
- PC/VC6/_sqlite3.dsp:
/D "MODULE_NAME=\"sqlite3\""
caused extra leading space like
#define MODULE_NAME " sqlite3"
so uses
/D MODULE_NAME=\"sqlite3\"
instead.
- PC/VC6/python.dsp:
changed stack size to 2MB to avoid stack overflow on
some tests.
Some functions in the msvcrt module are skipped,
and socket.ioctl is enabled only when using a more recent Platform SDK.
(and yes, there are still companies that use a 10-years old compiler)
It was only used as a helper in types.py to access types (GetSetDescriptorType and MemberDescriptorType),
when they can easily be obtained with python code.
These expressions even work with Jython.
I don't know what the future of the types module is; (cf. discussion in http://bugs.python.org/issue1605 )
at least this change makes it simpler.
I applied the same changes manually to VS7.1 and VC6 files; completely untested.
(Christian, don't try too hard merging this change into py3k.
It will be easier to do the same work again on the branch)
