Windows install fails due to netifaces change

Description

The dependency upon netifaces breaks the installation, because the os library on Windows XP does not contain the link function, which inetfaces' install explicltly deletes. Of course, if is is not there, you cannot delete it, but *you don't need to*.

Hand-editing the netifaces setup.py to skip the explicit del when os.link does not exist, gets past this.

There is no route I can find to inform the source of netifaces of the difficulty, so I am reporting it to you.
