Indeed. We're definitly Linux users at Logilab so testing with Windows platform
is not our daily activity. We're neither daily py3k users so that doesn't
help... So you're right that any help on the windows and py3k fronts are greatly
appreciated.

Anyway the setup.py in its current form has already been "fixed" by a
Windows user, but not enough apparently ;). So I'm fine with the patch started
provided it's modified to take your remark into account and that it's tested
against other python version (eg 2.7?) under windows.
