When the EMX support was added, I asked about doing this (having
os2emxpath import stuff from ntpath), and Guido's conclusion at the
time was that the os2emxpath module should be independant of ntpath
- even if there was significant duplication.

I have no problem with the genericpath rationalisation, but request that
the ntpath related changes to os2emxpath be reverted unless other advice
to the contrary is forthcoming.
