Summary: mimetypes.py uses posixpath not os.path

Initial Comment:
The mimetypes.py module imports posixpath instead of 
os.path.  There's nothing special from posixpath that 
it's using - only three calls to splitext, which 
should have the same implementation in all of the 
platform-specific path modules.

This was noted when using Gordon McMillan's installer, 
which normally excludes posixpath since it's creating 
Win32 executables that should be using ntpath.
