Description
Anything that can be done using pywin32 can also be done, a little more klunkily, using ctypes. Currently we depend on pywin32 directly to get disk stats at src/allmydata/storage/server.py@4595#L177, and indirectly via Twisted. Twisted depends on it only for spawnProcess in http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/internet/posixbase.py?rev=29163#L331. These dependencies could be easily eliminated, simplifying installation on Windows (if we require a release of Twisted with this change on Windows).
