* splitunc() no more returns illegal result for paths with redundant slashes.
* splitunc() now correctly processes the u'İ' character
(U+0130, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE).
* Added new tests for splitunc().
Rather than wrapping the C _isdir function in a Python function,
just import the C _isdir function directly. Additionally, add in the
docstring which was left out.

Fix "Berkeley" name.
........
Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import
inside the function. As a result, due to Python's
import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows
(directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile)
hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a
side effect of importing a module.
This is a depressingly frequent problem, and
deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for
a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts
for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows,
and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin
with (ntpath needs a different implementation
depending on whether we're actually running on
Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that
is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_
the function).
Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind
get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py
is a convenient place to add tests for them.
