Christian Heimes 3305c52de7 Applied my patch #1455 with some extra fixes for VS 2005
The new msvc9compiler module supports VS 2005 and VS 2008. I've also fixed build_ext to support PCbuild8 and PCbuild9 and backported my fix for xxmodule.c from py3k. The old code msvccompiler is still in place in case somebody likes to build an extension with VS 2003 or earlier.
I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.

Christian Heimes 3628187b66 Fix for feature request #1528 Add os.fchmod
Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 025c347d61 Issue #1402: PyInterpreterState_Clear() may still invoke user code
(in deallocation of running threads, for example), so the PyGILState_Release()
function must still be functional.
On the other hand, _PyGILState_Fini() only frees memory, and can be called later.

Backport candidate, but only after some experts comment on it.
