I'm going to give it a shot.

Expect questions. :)

1) How do you like to get patches?  diff -u

Once I get to know python a little bit, maybe I can get cvs read/write access.

2) I tried sys.platform on the 3 python platforms I have.  I got

   win32
   cygwin
   linux2

I would like to get rid of the --windows-mode flag and just set it 
automatically if sys.platform is win32 or cygwin.

Does that make sense?
