Summary: getwindowsversion() constants in sys module

Initial Comment:
In the documentation for the sys.getwindowsversion()
function, it says that the 'platform' value may be one
of four constants (specifying them by name).

However, these constants are not in the sys module
(they are in win32con from pywin32).

It would be better if either the documentation said
that the constants were available in win32con if
pywin32 is installed, or if the constants were added to
the sys module.

I personally think the latter is better since it's a
single line of code, and makes the getwindowsversion()
function more useful, but I'm not sure whether people
will want to clutter the sys module with four constants.

I'm happy to provide a patch for either behaviour, if
an appropriate developer will choose one.
