That can be done for 3.4+ only though.

It actually seems quite easy to distinguish them. At the beginning 'libc' is
created either using cdll.msvcrt (on windows) or CDLL("libc.so.6") (on Linux).
There are examples that use windll and other Windows- or Linux-specific
functions later on but it's usually quite evident. If we get lost we can
always dig in the history or just run the tests and see where they fail.
FTR there were a few actual errors that I fixed (mostly about bytes vs string).
I also removed unnecessary prints and added a few doctest directives to make
some of the tests pass. 'from ctypes import *' is used quite frequently, and
it would be better to change it, but I left it unchanged for now. I also
removed an obsolete warning about the doctest directives in the example because
Sphinx hides them.
