Log Message:
-----------
add IS_WINDOWS constant, as Windows is so different from other (Unix-y) OSes that a special-case is justified; I've noticed a lot of pysys users are doing error-prone matching against string literals (e.g. OSFAMILY=='windows', PLATFORM in ['win32','win64'] are common) or writing complex expressions using python's platform module; having a constant will reduce mistakes for these common cases; 
also started a How To Guide/FAQ in the README.rst to guide people towards best practice solutions for common problems
