I think we can say that on Windows we can assume Python 2.6, since we
are 'compiling' occbuild into an exe using py2exe and Python 2.6. I'm
also assuming that not many Windows users are going to want to compile
the project from source (and even fewer with an older version of
python than 2.6).

I'll make a test in split_options that tests for windows and passes
posix=true/false as appropriate.
