Will backport to 2.5.

Change test_warnings.py and test_structmembers.py to use this

those specific tests (it starts openssl at the beggining of
all the tests and then kills it at the end).

Test that the stacklevel is handled correctly.

the tests from test_warnings.py.

\ifx#1\@undefined ended up comparing N and N, therefore executing
the true part of the conditional, blowing up at \@undefined.

  patch taken from http://bugs.debian.org/416934.

Two (test_array and test_descr) were bug IMO; the third (copy_reg)
is a work-around which recognizes that object.__init__() doesn't do
anything.

one of the test locales cannot be set.

locale changed but not used during the function call it was recreated during.

The test in this checkin is untested (OS X does not have the proper locale
support for me to test), although the fix for the bug this deals with
was tested by the OP (#1290505).  Once the buildbots verify the test at least
doesn't fail it becomes a backport candidate.

If MSVCCompiler.initialize() was called multiple times, the path
would get duplicated.  On Windows, this is a problem because the
path is limited to 4k.  There's no benefit in adding a path multiple
times, so prevent that from occuring.  We also normalize the path
before checking for duplicates so things like /a and /a/ won't both
be stored.

Will backport.
