Hum, I didn't realize os.chmod() worked this differently on Windows. Seems like
I bumped into bug #755617 (os module: Need a better description of "mode"). Per
that bug, I googled for '_chmod msdn' and came up with the attached patch.
However, I don't have a Windows machine handy to test. Could someone with a
Windows machine try the patch?

Cheers,

Johannes
