Update of /cvsroot/pywin32/pywin32
In directory ddv4jf1.ch3.sourceforge.com:/tmp/cvs-serv25507

Log Message:
Lots of stuff from Roger's work on the py3k branch:

* Lots of string and 64bit enhancements, particularly
  in pythonwin which only accepted plain string objects
  in many cases.  pywintypes and some of the other extension
  code get cleanups in this area too.

* Consolidation of more structure conversions and other helpers
  into pywintypes.

* Additional pythonwin tooltip notification fixes.

* Some '#if (PY_VERSION_HEX < 0x03000000)' blocks have been
  incorporated, but in general, no py3k specific code has
  been merged yet.

* Better error handling in pythonwin; less exceptions should be 
  left lingering, be overridden or simply ignored.

* Drop support for pythoncom.__future_currency__ - the
  decimal module is now always used.  

* A couple of very early interface implementations are upgraded to have 
  unicode passed instead of strings - if you *implement* (not use) any
  of these interfaces, you may need to test to ensure you work when
  args are passed as unicode objects instead of strings.  Affected are
  IErrorLog, IPropertyBag, ICatInformation and IStorage.

***************
*** 9,12 ****
--- 9,27 ----
  ----------------
  
+ * Lots of work to better support unicode, py3k and 64bits from Roger.
+   Most of these changes will be invisible, and those that are not
+   are detailed elsewhere.
+ 
+ * ODBC module - todo - add more about this.
+ 
+ * pythoncom.__future_currency__ is no longer supported - the decimal
+   module is now used unconditionally when returning 'currency' variants.
+   See the win32com readme for more.
+ 
+ * If you *implement* (not use) any of the following interfaces, take note:
+   IErrorLog, IPropertyBag, ICatInformation and IStorage have been upgraded 
+   to have unicode passed instead of strings as args to the implementation
+   methods.
+ 
  * win32gui: RegisterDeviceNotification and EnumPropsExW didn't release the 
    GIL, which could cause a deadlock in multi-threaded Python apps.
