Not all ntpath.py-methods do recognize shares, do they?

When I last used this (and I just checked again), ismount() returns 1
for any directory immediately below a remote machine, whether or not
it is really a share.  So this might not be safe as a general change:

E.g., A remote machine "ctwh01" has a share "sitedata" with a directory
"ni" beneath it:

    os.path.ismount(r'\\ctwh01\sitedata\ni')  --> 0  
    os.path.ismount(r'\\ctwh01\sitedata')     --> 1
    os.path.ismount(r'\\ctwh01\foo')          --> 1
    os.path.ismount(r'\\ctwh01\bar')          --> 1
    os.path.ismount(r'\\ctwh01\\')            --> 1

But "foo", "bar" and the root directory "\" are not shares.

This was with Python 1.5.2 and Python 2.0 under NT4SP4.

If you want to treat a directory beneath a share as a directory, then
I would probably suggest that you use your own function wrapping
os.path.isdir rather than modifying the libraries themselves with
ismount() since I think that could lead to confusion in other cases.
