Probably os.execv() should be implemented on Windows with _wexecv() instead of 
_execv().  Likewise for other functions which have "wide" versions.  Or maybe 
it wouldn't be worth the effort, since it would mean writing separate Windows 
implementations.

I don't know what you mean about os.readlink() though: the Windows 
implementation uses CreateFileW() and DeviceIoControl().
