I am probably trolling, however, does anyone actually use tla on
windows (mingw or cygwin) on a day to day basis? I mean tla can almost be 
regarded as
windows hostile by design:
* very long path name with wierd chars;
* windows has no hard link, ie. no revlib
* lots of small files that may trash FAT filesystem performance (not sure about
NTFS though)
IMHO, we probably better off just ignore windows users altogether and
focus on real POSIX systems. After all, we probably should cater to our main
userbase first.
