Windows fix: When PYTHONCASEOK is set, or for any other reason imports
are satisfied in a case-insensitive manner, the attempt to import (the non-existent) fcntl gets satisfied by FCNTL.py instead, and the tempfile module defines a Unix-specific _set_cloexec() function in that case. As a result, temp files can't be created then (blows up with an AttributeError trying to reference fcntl.fcntl). This just popped up in the spambayes project, where there is no apparent workaround (which is why I'm pushing this in now).
