Summary: Add %var% support to ntpath.expandvars
Initial Comment:
NT variables are passed around as %var% instead of
$var or ${var}. Providing support for this gives a
seamless user experience for NT users using Python.
E.g. os.path.expandvars('%TEMP%') now does what is
expected on NT.
I updated the docstring, could not find any tests or
documentation references in svn for this portion of
code.

I believe that there are two changes that are desireable;
the functionality offered in this patch (expansion of %VAR%
environment variables), and ~user\subpath expansion.
Recursive re-application of variable expansion shouldn't
occur. I can merge the two patches that adds the
functionality to ntpath.expanduser and ntpath.expandvars .
