Thanks to Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven for the fix.

  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from fractions import Fraction; f = Fraction(3, 2)' 'isinstance(3, Fraction); isinstance(f, Fraction)'
from 12.3 usec/loop to 3.44 usec/loop and
  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'from fractions import Fraction' 'Fraction(3, 2)'
from 48.8 usec to 23.6 usec by avoiding genexps and sets in __instancecheck__
and inlining the common case from __subclasscheck__.

_PyLong_Format.  In longobject.c, changed long_format to
_PyLong_Format.  In intobject.c, changed uses of PyOS_snprintf to
_PyInt_Format instead.

_PyLong_Format is similar to py3k's routine of the same name, except
it has 2 additional parameters: addL and newstyle.  addL was existing
in long_format, and controls adding the trailing "L".  This is
unneeded in py3k.  newstyle is used to control whether octal prepends
"0" (the pre-2.6 style), or "0o" (the 3.0 sytle).

PyNumber_ToBase is needed for PEP 3127 (Integer Literal Support and
Syntax) and PEP 3101 (Advanced String Formatting).

This changeset does not need merging into py3k.

Added Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULES macro to set WINVER and NTDDI_VERSION to Windows 2000 for core modules, too
Added -d option to build.bat (same as -c Debug) and fixed warning about /build option
Updated Windows related readme.txt files

Issue 2021: Allow NamedTemporaryFile and SpooledTemporaryFile to be used as context managers. (The NamedTemporaryFile fix should be considered for backporting to 2.5)
