I've updated Py to 3.0a; there was a bug in the shroud routine. It's
available in source, bound executable, and now a compiled executable:

The compiled version seems stable, and is much faster, so I'll be phasing
out posts of the bound executable. Here are some comparative benchmarks on a
modified Queens demo:

Euphoria:
  interpreted: 2.42 seconds
  compiled: 2.36 seconds

Py:
  interpreted with_trace on: 28.40 seconds
  interpreted without_trace: 18.62 seconds
  compiled py: 9.17 seconds

I've also updated the instructions to show how Win32Lib can be interfaced to
it. At the moment, Py still brings up a console window because of writes to
stdout. I'll look at preventing that from happening in future releases.

As usual, feedback is appreciated!
