Hmm. Well, it would make the test possible on MSWindows as well as on OS's implementing alarm(2). If I figure out how to build Python on MSWindows, I might give it a try. I tried to get MSVC 7.1 via the .Net SDK, but it installed VS 8 instead, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

The .NET SDK (any version) is not suitable to build Python. You really need VS 2003; if you don't have it anymore, you might be able to find a copy of the free version of the VC Toolkit 2003 (VCToolkitSetup.exe) somewhere.

Of course, just for testing, you can also install VS Express 2005, and use the PCbuild8 projects directory; these changes should work the same under both versions.
