This is a patch for the os.path.realpath() bug under Windows, documented in
http://bugs.python.org/issue9949
"os.path.realpath on Windows does not follow symbolic links"

There are two files here:

       1567   3-09-12   6:05p   ntpath.diff
      24464   3-09-12   6:02p   ntpath.py

ntpath.diff fixes the realpath() function to resolve symbolic links to their
targets (tested under Windows 7).  The resulting ntpath.py file (for Python 3.2)
is also included in the .zip archive.

Note: I tried to make the equivalent patch for Python 2.7, but it didn't work
because the "from nt import _getfinalpathname" fails.
