SF bug 728097: tmpnam problems on windows 2.3b, breaks test.test_os.
...
tmpnam() appears essentially useless on Windows, and it finally broke
the test for Irmen de Jong. Read the long new comment in test_tmpnam()
for details. Since the MS implementation is insane, it might be good
if we supplied a different implementation.
Bugfix candidate.

Patch by Jp Calderone:
...
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
See SF patch #658327 .
This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).
