The instructions and examples in PC/example_nt/ are hopelessly outdated (the readme says "It has been tested with VC++ 7.1 on Python 2.4" on default!). Is there any reason to keep and update the example, or can we just drop it?

Erk...just discovered there's a section of Doc/extending/windows.rst that depends on example_nt that will need to be excised.
