I don't know what is going on with the tests on Windows. But I have just 
managed ( for the first time :-) ), to compile, start, and run all the tests 
successfully on Windows.

Althoug I had a slight problem starting Zope because of ZODB.winlock not 
working but considering all the problems I ran into to get the damn thing to 
compile I put this down to my lack of experience with Windows.

The thing is I don't know what as changed in the twisted code. I recently 
updated Twisted on the trunk - but I didn't put this change onto the 3.3 
branch.
