Summary: ntpath.expandvars doesn't expand Windows-style variables.

Initial Comment:
ntpath.expandvars is exactly the same as
posixpath.expandvars -- it only expands $vars.  But in
windows, environment variables are represented by
%vars%, not $vars.

I can write a patch if necessary.  Having read the
code, I noticed that it went to great lengths to do
what could quite easily be done with a regular
expression, so I assume using regular expressions isn't
kosher in the *path modules?
