stage.py/msvc

Well... the stage.py test still fails under msvc. It turned out to be harder 
to fix this. Look at the attached test. It's supposed to do nothing,
only print the directory where "bjam" is run. It prints it, something like

C:\DOCUME~1\.....

and this short name breaks things. When I cd to the same directory and
run the same bjam command like, I get

C:\Documents and Settings\....

IOW, invoking bjam from Python causes problems. I'm not that eager to find
out what's wrong with out test system... it would be nice if we can convert 
short current path into long current path. 

Does anyone knows a Windows API function which can return long path given a 
short one? I've tried to look, but found none.

Thanks,
