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.

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.

Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
