* updated docs in the patch

@ Éric: Thanks, that works nicely :)

@ Michael: You don't need cygwin to use which and many gnu tools on windows. See http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html. After installation you can take the ,exe and .dll files in GnuWin32/bin and use them on any pc/network - just put them to the path.

@ Tarek: In the docs I used ".. versionadded:: 2.7.1", but this guess needs a verification :)
