SF bug 1071087: os.walk example for deleting a full tree is sometime wrong.
...
Clarify that the example assumes no links are present; the point of the
example is to illustrate a need for topdown=False, not to wrestle with
platform-dependent link convolutions.
Also spell os.path.join() out in full, instead of using a shortcut import.
The bug reporter was confused by that too, and it's clearer this way.
Bugfix candidate; but I don't intend to backport it.

Document that on Unix, the 'cmd' argument to the os.popen2/3/4 and

popen2.popen2/3/4 functions can be a sequence. All texts are a variation on the
following:
On \UNIX, \var{cmd} may be a sequence, in which case arguments will be passed
directly to the program without shell intervention (as with
\function{os.spawnv()}). If \var{cmd} is a string it will be passed to the shell
(as with \function{os.system()}).

SF bugs 996748: os.environ documentation should indicate unreliability

Clarifed that os.environ is captured once; emphasized that it's better
to assign to os.environ than to call putenv() directly (the putenv()
docs said so, but the environ docs didn't).

SF bug 990749: os constants missing

A LaTeX comment identified the 6 os.O_XXX constants the docs claimed
are available on Windows but aren't. The bug report listed the same 6.
Split these non-Windows constants into a different table with a possibly
correct "Availability:" claim.

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.
