(PyXML bug #1112052)

Closes bug #1110998.

for Python 2.4 caused a segfault when post_install_script was used.

The reason was that the file handle passed to PyRun_SimpleFile() was
created with MSVCRT.DLL, but Python 2.4 uses MSVCR71.DLL.

So, I replaced PyRun_SimpleFile() with PyRun_SimpleString().  The
segfault is gone, but the output of the postinstall script doesn't
show up, because still freopen() from MSVCRT is used.

(I would be very gratefull if someone proofreads the patch, at least).

rather than only looking at the type - this was broken in 2.3.
