I suggest that someone other than me rewrite all tests in Haskell and we banish shell scripting from darcs development. Hm. I was intending to be joking when I wrote that, but now that I've written it I have to point out that "find.exe" does something completely different on Windows (it is sort of like grep) and "yes.exe" doesn't exist. I guess this means that Cygwin or a similar unix toolset is required to run the tests on Windows, even if in the happy near future it is no longer required to build? Personally I don't see a lot of value in being able to build without cygwin when you can't run the tests without cygwin. What use is that?
