Re: Jython 2.7.1 final soft release

OK, because I know that the maven finalization process takes many
hours, I went ahead and got a free trial of Azure to try things out on
Windows. I was mainly looking for a sanity check, and that worked out
just fine. I did encounter a couple of problems:

jython.exe complained about python.dll with an "error 14001". From
Googling around (I gave up on Binging around and IE really fast :) --
I suspect this is because the Azure server settings are highly locked
down by default. Still:

java -jar jython.jar -m test.regrtest -e -m regrtest_memo.txt

gave a handful of errors (again I suspect tight security)

So given that the RC did quite well for folks with much stronger
Windows-fu than I have, I say this is enough sanity testing and I'll
finalize the release shortly.

Normally I wouldn't rush so much, but the 2017-7-1 thing is too nice.
Worst thing that could happen is an early 2.7.2 ;)
