Trying to use run_tests.py for testing is more trouble than it's
worth; reverted to rt.bat.  Also cleaned up rt.bat a bit.

Trying to use hg purge to clean up after testing is also
error-prone, so we're back to using the build solution's Clean
targets.

The clean script is a "best effort" thing anyway, and this will hopefully
revive the XP buildbot.

The user-facing scripts in PCbuild have been updated to be easier to use
and the buildbot scripts in Tools\buildbot have been updated to use the
user-facing scripts in PCbuild wherever possible.

(so that stale test files, which can be very large, get wiped out)

  Kristjan, the initial creator of the PCbuild8 directory is fine with the replacement. I've moved the new version of the VS 2005 build directory next to the other legacy build directories. The new sync script is based on the work of wreck and syncs changes in the project, property and solution files.

the MSI builder.

(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 ;)

stale .pyc files.
