  Reimplement kill_python.  The existing version had a number of flaws, namely, it didn't work for x64 and it wasn't precise about which python_d.exe it was killing -- it just killed the first one it came across that happened to have 'pcbuild\python_d.exe' or 'build\python_d.exe' in it's path.  The new version has been rewritten from the ground up and now lives in PCbuild, instead of Tools\buildbot, and it has also been incorporated into the Visual Studio solution (pcbuild.sln) as 'kill_python'.  The solution has also been altered such that kill_python is called where necessary in the build process in order to prevent any linking errors due to open file locks.  In lieu of this, all of the existing bits and pieces in Tools\buildbot that called out to kill_python at various points have also been removed as they are now obsolete.  Tested on both Win32 and x64.

  Correct the apparent refleak in test_io:
  When cls is an ABCMeta, every call to isinstance(x, cls)
  records type(x) in the cls._abc_cache of cls_abc_negative_cache.
  So we clear these caches at the end of the test.

  inspect.isabstract() is not the correct test for all ABCs, because there is no @abstractmethod in io.py (why?)
  isinstance(cls, ABCMeta) would be more exact, but it fails with an infinite recursion.
  So I used a hack to determine whether a class is an ABCMeta.

  The true correction would be to turn cls._abc_cache &co into a WeakSet, as py3k does.
  But classic classes are not weak referenceable...

  Of course, this change should not be merged into the py3k branch.
........

The version in trunk/ is correct; the problem with 3.0 is that
None cannot be used as a marker in a PriorityQueue, because it cannot be compared with ints.

  Repair compilation for Visual Studio 2005.

  It will be easier to do the same work again on the branch)
