Summary: os.altsep is None under Windows

Initial Comment:
With both 2.3a2 and 2.22, os.altsep is None under 
Windows.  This does not match the documentation, 
which states (in part): 'This is set to "/" on Windows 
systems where sep is a backslash.'  (Perhaps this is a 
documentation bug.)

How strange.  It was my intention for it to be '/' but
somehow it didn't get set. Thanks!

checked in as ntpath.py v 1.57 - also backported to 2.2 branch 
(os.py 1.50.8.7). altsep on Windows was None before I migrated stuff to 
ntpath.py.  I don't think it was ever not None on Windows.

Skip, I think you might know more about this?

Not a doc bug. This seems to have been lost somehow!
