Nice in theory but ctypes already works on at least the top 3 popular
platforms.  Lets not hold Python's stdlib back because nobody who uses
IBM and HP proprietary stuff has contributed the necessary support.
Making nice libraries available for other platforms is a good way to
encourage people to either pitch in and add support or consider their
platform choices in the future.
