Facilitate cross-compilation by having binaries in separate Win32 and x64 directories.
Rationalized configs by making proper use of platforms/configurations.
Remove pythoncore_pgo project.
Add new PGIRelease and PGORelease configurations to perform Profile Guided Optimisation.
Removed I64 support, but this can be easily added by copying the x64 platform settings.
pointed out some of the problems he had following the instructions,
and I stumbled into the others: MSVC has changed in several
respects, Python has changed the directories into which it builds
its own Windows outputs, and we grew the unusual scheme of
appending "_d" to the names of debug-mode output files.
This should all work with VC6 + CVS Python now. Some other Windows
geek please confirm! And the less you know, the better <0.5 wink>.
Explanations and examples for versions of MSVC before 6, and
versions of Python before 2.0b1, have been removed, because
they're too different and so confuse life. This last step I OK'ed
with Guido first (indeed, 'twas his idea!).
