The simplest thing to do here is to create a win_ismount function in posixmodule.c which does the attributes / reparse tag dance and returns True/False and use that wherever it's needed to support this concept under Windows. The current solution is correct for a subset of cases. Arguably a bug, although I doubt I'd get that past the release manager! The wider issue of exposing GetFileAttributesW, eg under one of the unused stat fields, should be explored elsewhere.
