Yeah, well... it's a hobby :-)

We can probably bump that to Python 2.1 or even 2.3 after 2.6
is out.

The main reason for keeping 1.5.2 compatibility was mxCGIPython
which started platform.py in the first place. Since it turned out
to be useful for all kinds of things, it's good to be able to
backport any changes to installations still using older Python
versions.

The patches look OK now.
