We need to fix the Windows buildbots. 2 tests are currently failing for 2.5.2: testmailbox testwinreg

The test_winreg failure is a funny one:

The py3k test_winreg fails because of a bug in the test itself; I fixed this in rev. 60236. The failing test leaves a key in the registry that make the trunk and release25-maint tests also fail.

I have manually removed the offending key in the registry on the x86 XP-3 buildbot; we'll see if it works now.

The real solution, however, would be to change all the test_winreg tests to remove the test-key completely before and after their test. But I'll leave this to someone else.
