// Windows "Activation Context" work:
// Our .pyd extension modules are generally built without a manifest (ie,
// those included with Python and those built with a default distutils.
// This requires we perform some "activation context" magic when loading our
// extensions. In summary:
// * As our DLL loads we save the context being used.
// * Before loading our extensions we re-activate our saved context.
// * After extension load is complete we restore the old context.
// As an added complication, this magic only works on XP or later - we simply
// use the existence (or not) of the relevant function pointers from kernel32.
// See bug 4566 (http://python.org/sf/4566) for more details.
