sys.setfilesystemencoding() creates inconsistencies because it is unable to
reencode all filenames in all objects.

namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block.  This limitation
of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF).

This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change::

   >>> def f():
   ...     def print_error():
   ...        print(e)
   ...     try:
   ...        something
   ...     except Exception as e:
   ...        print_error()
   ...        # implicit "del e" here


This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works::

   >>> def outer(x):
   ...     def inner():
   ...        return x
   ...     inner()
   ...     del x

There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.

Experiment: Let collections.namedtuple() do the work.  This should work now that _collections is pre-built.  The buildbots will tell us shortly.

* pythoncore.vcproj: Fixed indentation
* _multiprocessing.vcproj: Converted ProjectGUID to uppercase. Otherwise,
  VS8 _multiprocessing.vcproj created by vs9to8.py was modified every time
  loads it in VS8 IDE.

* pythoncore.dsp: updated project file
* readme.txt: removed dead link
* tcl852.patch: fixed patch. it was doubled.

Fix issue 9794: adds context manager protocol to socket.socket so that socket.create_connection() can be used with the 'with' statement.
