[python-win32] detecting windows type

[le dahut]

Thanks for your advice. A colleague told me how to get those
informations. First install WMI on the 95/98 station, then write the
program and compile it with py2exe, then it should work on every 95/98
station (also where WMI is NOT installed !).

Note that 'ipconfig' is available on win98 so a
os.popen('ipconfig /all') can be parsed to get infos.
