Ronald Oussoren 9545a23c7f In a number of places code still revers
to "sys.platform == 'mac'" and that is
dead code because it refers to a platform
that is no longer supported (and hasn't been
supported for several releases).

Fixes issue #7908 for the trunk.

Brian Curtin e5aa886b44 Implement #1220212. Add os.kill support for Windows.
os.kill takes one of two newly added signals, CTRL_C_EVENT and
CTRL_BREAK_EVENT, or any integer value. The events are a special case
which work with subprocess console applications which implement a
special console control handler. Any other value but those two will
cause os.kill to use TerminateProcess, outright killing the process.

This change adds win_console_handler.py, which is a script to implement
SetConsoleCtrlHandler and applicable handler function, using ctypes.

subprocess also gets another attribute which is a necessary flag to
creationflags in Popen in order to send the CTRL events.

Gregory P. Smith 0806749e63 Works around issue3863: freebsd4/5/6 and os2emx are known to have OS bugs when
calling fork() from a child thread.  This disables that unit test (with a note
printed to stderr) on those platforms.

A caveat about buggy platforms is added to the os.fork documentation.
