Not only does this give us a huge speed-up, it also works around a problem
where sftp doesn't always update the modification time, which causes random
test failures.

Not all the tests are possible to run on Windows since they expect a
Unix-like shell environment. However, the rest of the tests can be
accommodated. This actually found an issue in the implementation.
Since the implementation assumes the target is POSIX/Unix-y, we should
use posixpath rather than os.path which uses the host's path style.
