Awaiting your patch ;-).

Ok, here it is; shamelessly copied from fileobject.c. BTW, what is the status of this fileobject? open() doesn't seem to use it anymore. Will file() be removed at some point?

Now test_fileio passes on Windows, with the exception of testAbles(): since c:\dev is an existing directory on my machine, /dev/tty is a regular file and is seekable... Maybe skip this test on win32?

I have a couple of other corrections, found by randomly playing with the tests functions... shall I post the corrections here as well?
