I haven't looked into all the various places the tests write temp files to, but
if we could localise everything to a common root directory, i.e.
%TEMP%\python-regrtest, we could then attempt to blow this away at the start of
regrtest.py before any tests run, and refuse to run if this fails. This would
be in combination with the unlinking/renaming approach discussed. This
approach seems like it would cover all bases a bit more effectively.
