Summary: SHFileOperation - support sequence of names

Initial Comment:
Actually, replace the line 

PyErr_Format(PyExc_RuntimeError, "Sequences of names
not yet supported");

in com/win32comext/shell/src/shell.cpp
with useful code.

:)

It might actually be easier to just let callers construct 
their own string with filenames separated by NULL's.
Interestingly, this would work right now except for the 
fact that _tcscpy is used which stops copying characters 
when it finds a NULL byte.  So basically, replace tcscpy
with memcpy and remove the sequence check altogether.  
It'll take longer to put together a test case than it will 
to change the C++ code.  Mark, if you're okay with this 
I'll go ahead and do it.

Alternately, win32api already has code to create a double-
null terminated sequence of strings for REG_MULTI_SZ.  We 
could move it into pywintypes so it's available for 
anyplace else this type of string is used.

         Roger
