On the other hand, this only affects windows users with python2.4.
Is there a reason for Windows user not to update Python ? (for Linux it
might be harder because of the stable distributions that can ship old
software for a long time).

Personnaly I prefer a small hack that mimick the behaviour from python,
even if it's buggy. Is the dirstate rebuild really slow ?
