Summary: win32event.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() segfaults

Initial Comment:
win32event.MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx() segfaults if
you call it with an empty list of handles (I didn't try
calling with non-empty list).
The docs say that this should be possible, see: 
http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2006/01/25/517395.aspx
(OK, it's not exactly documentation :)

The problem lies in dynamic loading of said function.
Since the win32event module already requires Windows XP,
(#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501), and this function was
added in Windows NT 4.0, I simply removed the dynamic
loading.

The patch also contains a very basic test.
