Dear allmydata.org folks (especially RobK and Arno -- my fellow  
Windows users) and darcs folks:

Have you seen this page?

http://wiki.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/WindowsConsoles

I've been running all this time with rxvt.exe, bash, and with  
CYGWIN="codepage:oem tty binmode title".

I always have the problem of C-c leaving a lock file behind and the  
problem of having to hit enter after each command, but as far as I  
know I don't have any other problems, so I'm slightly skeptical about  
the "worse things could happen" part.

The page is confused by suggesting that rxvt and bash are  
alternatives.  In fact one is a terminal emulator and one is a shell  
so if you're using rxvt then you're also using bash.  (As I am.)

I intend to update that page (and to link to it from the Windows  
Configuration page [1]) after I figure out what it should say.   
Actually I think I should just delete that page and integrate its  
contents into WindowsConfiguration (and leave a forward link from  
WindowsConsoles to WindowsConfiguration).
