for Python 2.4 caused a segfault when post_install_script was used.
The reason was that the file handle passed to PyRun_SimpleFile() was
created with MSVCRT.DLL, but Python 2.4 uses MSVCR71.DLL.
So, I replaced PyRun_SimpleFile() with PyRun_SimpleString(). The
segfault is gone, but the output of the postinstall script doesn't
show up, because still freopen() from MSVCRT is used.
(I would be very gratefull if someone proofreads the patch, at least).

'tempnam()' is used rather than 'tmpnam()' - 'tmpnam' creates a temp

Will port to the trunk later.
Remove all uses of alloca() from this module. The alloca() return value
isn't checked, and it *is* possible that a very large alloca() call is
made, e.g. when a large registry value is being read. I don't know if
alloca() in that case returns NULL or returns a pointer pointing outside
the stack, and I don't want to know -- I've simply replaced all calls to
alloca() with either PyMem_Malloc() or PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL,)
as appropriate, followed by a size check. This addresses SF buf 851056.
To build on windows, the manual editing of the python_nt.rc file to
change the version number is no longer required.
Instead, a make_versioninfo.exe is compiled, which spits out an
include file for python_nt.rc.
