[issue1763] Winpath module - easy access to Windows directories like My Documents

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes added the comment:

Here is a new patch which adds os.path.getshellfolders(). It uses
SHGetFolderPathW which is compatible with Windows 2000.

I've implemented the API because several of my project need the path to
my documents. I've a personal interested in the specific feature. It may
also be required for a new, user specific site-package directory. The
feature is currently being discussed on the python-dev list.
