Change for compiling 1.5.2 on Windows NT Alpha

Guido and fellow pythoneers...

There needs to be the following change in file fpectlmodule.c, line 163:

Line currently reads: #elif defined(__alpha)

line should read: #elif defined(__alpha) && !defined(_MSC_VER)

Rationale: The original line correctly identifies the DEC Alpha processor,
but not the OS. Consequently, when compiled under NT 4 Alpha using MSVC
5.0, which defines __alpha (apparently), the wrong section is processed.
The additional logic prevents the Microsoft compiler from processing the
wrong section.

PS: I have Alpha NT versions compiled for python15.dll and python.exe

Or to follow the comments more obviously, change it to
#elif defined(__alpha) && defined(__osf__)
