win32all covers a huge number of API functions, more then would be sane to add to os. But would there be any mileage in added enough from win32all to allow problems like popen5 to be implemented?

I know I am wandering a bit off topic.

But tangentially on topic - is the possibility of getting enough of the win32all API functions into the core distribution to give more Windows standard functionality to disutils - start menu entries in particular.

I won't get wordy on why I think this would be a very good thing. But if my guess (which is all it is) that it would only require small bits of win32all is correct, the return on investment would be, I believe, tremendous.
