For the first point, I just put it there since other Windows-only modules already exist there. _subprocess did, msvcrt and winreg currently do, and there's a few other Windows-only things in there. It's not a big deal, so I can move it into Modules if we want -- winreg and msvcrt should probably get moved as well (in another issue).

As for the name clash, I could shorten it to _win, but I'd rather not name it _win32. Microsoft got away from calling it the "Win32 API" and instead say "Windows API" now since it also covers 64-bit. It's just an internal name so I won't fight too hard on this.
