[Reportbug-maint] Bug#523816: reportbug: hanlde platform dependent modules with more care

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

reportbuug's modules can be made more platform independent by carefully

reportbug modules on other platforms (like Microsoft Windows).
