cmdserver doesn't work in Windows

[beetleb]

When I try the cmdserver in Windows, I get:

apply: Searching for program: No such file or directory, sh

I'm pretty sure Mercurial does have a cmdserver in Windows. Any tips on how I can fix this?

Thanks.

This is simply because we start the command server with sh -c, which just isn't portable: see

monky/monky.el

Line 481 in e046322

"monky-hg" buf "sh" "-c"

I imagine we're using the shell here strictly to redirect stderr to /dev/null, and imagine that we can invoke hg --cmdserver ... correctly on Windows using Emacs builtin process primitives and managing stderr "by hand". I don't often work on my Windows box but I want to make #109 better for my own purposes and will try to address this issue at the same time.
