Currently, os.startfile is implemented in Win32 only, but there are
command line tools in Unix and MacOSX that have same behavior.

As a result of http://portland.freedesktop.org, unix desktop has command
line tool named "xdg-open"
(http://portland.freedesktop.org/xdg-utils-1.0/xdg-open.html).

And MacOSX has 'open'
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html)
command, and it can be used in same condition.
