(branch-creation time) up to 43067. 43068 and 43069 contain a little
swapping action between re.py and sre.py, and this mightily confuses svn
merge, so later changes are going in separately.
This merge should break no additional tests.
The last-merged revision is going in a 'last_merge' property on '.' (the
branch directory.) Arbitrarily chosen, really; if there's a BCP for this, I
couldn't find it, but we can easily change it afterwards ;)
important for the _ssl.vproj build. It calls build_ssl.py which tries to
find a Perl to use. Without "/useenv" Visual Studio is getting a PATH
from somewhere else (presumably from its internal environment
configuration). The result is that build_ssl.py fallsback to its
"well-known" locations for a Perl install.
