Message 108225 - Python tracker

On unices, ismount checks whether the given path is a mount point.
On windows, it only checks whether it's a drive letter.

Long story short, Python simply returns False when doing ismount(r"c:\mount1"), while c:\mount1 is a real mount point.

This is relevant for all modern windows versions.

I'm using win32file.GetVolumePathName() for overcoming this, but I'm not sure if the os python package should be importing win32file, maybe there is a better way to check whether a path is a mount point..
