+There are two special configurations for the pythoncore project and

+createing profile-guided optimized versions of python.dll.
+The former creates the instrumented binaries, and the latter
+runs python.exe with the instrumented python.dll on the performance
+testsuite, and creates a new, optimized, python.dll in
+PCBuild8\Win32\PGORelease, or in the x64 folder.  Note that although
+we can cross-compile x64 binaries on a 32 bit machine, we cannot
+create the PGO binaries, since they require actually running the code.
