Python test runner assumes native Python on Windows
runtests.py assumes that ctypes.windll is always available when running on Windows, but that is in fact only available when using a native Windows Python, but not the mingw/msys Python. The code causes a crash over a trivial issue of setting the terminal to UTF-8 mode.
See attached patch for a fix. (The second patch is a cleanup.)
