Summary: platform module needs update

Initial Comment:
The platform module doesn't know about windows XP.

It would be possible to simplify it (and get rid of the
win32all dependency) by using the _winreg module, and
the sys.getwindowsversion() function - although the
1.5.2 compatibility would suffer.

Documentation is missing completely.
