[python-win32] DDE Timeouts

Hi there,

I'm using Python's DDE with IBM OnDemand. As you can imagine queries often
take a little while to return, so pythonwin's DDE hardcoded timeout of 5
seconds in stddde.cpp is just not enough. At the moment I'm using 'try:
except:' to work around it but I would prefer to increase the timeout. I
don't have MSVC at work or home so I can't rebuild myself. Does anyone have
a build where the timeout is say >  50 secs?

Also, why is the timeout so low in the default build?

Thanks,
Robert
