Comment:
I think switching to osutils.get_host_name() is a good thing.
I don't think that win32utils.get_host_name() is quite correct, though. 
As it returns the NETBIOS name (u'VMVISTA...', rather than 
u'vmvista...').

So I think this is better than what we have, but we should also change 
win32utils.get_host_name() to use GetComputerNameEx when we know it is 
available. (Basically, when we know the unicode api is available should 
be sufficient.)
