Neil, I'm in favor of forcing this issue:  check it in now, 
while we're still far from the first 2.3 alpha.  People 
will gripe, but that will give them the motivation to help 
too.  It's not going to go anywhere if we wait for all 
answers to all issues in advance (it's been in that limbo 
state for a couple years already ...).  Note that I already 
made pymalloc the default on Windows.
