Summary: os.path.walk docstring inconsistent

Initial Comment:
On Windows, the docstring for os.path.walk says (in 
ntpath.py

    """Directory tree walk whth callback function.

    walk(top, func, arg) calls func(arg, d, files) for 
each directory d
    in the tree rooted at top (including top itself); 
files is a list
    of all the files and subdirs in directory d."""

(*** Note the "whth" in the first line ***)

Comparing with posixpath.py, the entire first line of 
the docstring is missing.

I would have simply corrected the spelling of "whth", 
but when I noticed that the 2 platforms' strings were 
different I decided to open this bug and allow Tim to 
make a quick decision about which string is the 
correct one.

Feel free to punt back, but I am guessing it quicker 
for you to make the decision and check it in.
