Summary: posixpath and friends have uses that should be documented

Initial Comment:
At this page: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-os.html

It should be suggested that the modules: posixpath, macpath, ntpath, os2emxpath are available on all platforms to handle the path conventions of that platform. The current phrasing, along with the documentation for each of these modules, does not imply that.

In particular, posixpath is useful to handle the URI path conventions in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2396 , for example handling repeated slashes and references to .. and .
