Stefan

I tried cygwin, but the answer seems to be no. 

I understand why you don't want to amend vc-bzr; would it at least be possible
to put a comment into "known bugs" or commentary, saying that it works with
cygwin but needs a wrapper script? This would at least save people wishing to
do this from having to hunt through the code? 

Thanks for your time; I'll stop mailing about this now. 

Phil
