Windows: get owner and group of a file

[Tim Golden]

[Duncan Booth]

| You can get the owner by doing os.popen('dir /q') and parsing 
| the output, but it is a string not a number (which I guess is why 
| stat/lstat can't return a value). 

Good one; I'd forgotten about that. However, I don't know
if the OP's restriction against popen ("ls- l") extends to
popen ("dir /q") !
