You are correct. When I was creating the table, I thought C would fall 
barely on the "not acceptable" side of languages, but by the time I 
wrote the text above, I had decided that C was barely acceptable. Either 
way, CVS fails immediately because it's not distributed.

Well...not by my definition of "MS Windows". Most Windows partitions are 
still FAT, not NTFS, and FAT doesn't have hard links. Worse, the 
mercurial guys have had a terrible time supporting hard links on NTFS. 
I'm not sure if it's due to poor docs, bugs, or what.

Thanks for your feedback.
