[Python-Dev] Asyncore .set_reuse_addr() on Windows

A recent patch makes asyncore.py's .set_reuse_addr method work on Windows, 
which needs a different socket option:

            if sys.platform == 'win32':
                reuse_constant = socket.SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE
            else:
                reuse_constant = socket.SO_REUSEADDR

Question: should the condition be sys.platform.startswith('win') for
the sake of win64, or other Windows variants?  (I don't know which
values sys.platform can have on Windows.)
