So we managed to figure this out.  There should be no more test
failures in Windows in the 0.7.0 branch.  Big thanks to Renato
Coutinho and Chris Smith for helping me debug and fix these errors.

The main cause of the problems was that Python 2.4 in Windows did not
convert 1e1000 to float('inf') in evalf.py.  In fact, it doesn't even
convert float('inf') to float('inf').  We ended up using
float(mpmath_inf).

It also turned out that the subprocess module causes problems in
Python 2.4 on Windows, so we had to skip the codegen tests completely
there.

Do people want me to create another release candidate?  The 0.7.0
branch contains not only these fixes but also fixes for the problems
of running the tests twice in the same session that were reported in
this same thread.  If having another release candidate will make it
easier for people to test the code, just let me know and I will make
one.

Otherwise, I will put all this in a final release in about a week,
barring any further problems.
