Keep Windows-specific hacks to a minimum
Registered by

What it says on the tin; instead of hacking the program and maintaining two branches, one for unix and one for win32, keep one with checks for sys.platform in ("win32", "other os"), etc. After all the hacking I did to 1.7 to get the installer working, it'd save everyone a lot of headaches. I'm certainly not putting *that* code back into trunk!

Whiteboard
Maybe something very small like this somewhere before important stuff (tm) starts happening:
if sys.platform == "win32":
win32 = true
Then we could call windows specific code with a simple
if win32:
doWindowsCodeHere
(?)
