Not to mention the not-all-that-occasional-anymore requests to have Python
on various itty-bitty things like Palm Pilots and WinCE devices. It's one
thing to add size to modules people can live without for many applications,
but I think the posix module and its other platform-specific relations are
fairly heavily used. (I realize this specific example isn't likely to apply
to PP/WinCE.)
