I created symbolic link to python.exe as dummy.exe on cygwin.
But I noticed platform.architecture() printed ('32bit', '')

$ ./dummy
Python 2.6b3+ (trunk:66166M, Sep  3 2008, 06:43:59)

>>> import platform
>>> platform._follow_symlinks("dummy.exe")

Is this _follow_symlinks's intended behavior? If no, I hope attached
patch will fix problem. Now platform.architecture() prints
('32bit', 'WindowsPE')
