..and that's probably not going to work, as I tried to point out before.
You _will_ need to import a lot of the Windows-specific knowledge from
windows.py to have any hope of working. For instance, you'll need some
way of determining if an NTFS hardlink is present and that's almost
certainly not something you can do in native Java.

Yep, you'll need to make sure you've defined a version of all the
OS-specific things that are in both windows.py or posix.py. The platform
file can't be empty.
