[IronPython] os.access

[J. Merrill]

The CRT (C-language runtime) is not available to .Net code (except through unmanaged code), so it's not as simple to do this as just P/Invoking that routine.

Unfortunately the pointer in the page you mention below to the .Net equivalent doesn't point to the description of code that does the equivalent thing; it points to the definition of an enumeration that needs to be used in the implementation of a method equivalent to access().
