We seem to be able to make fossil do things via windows shortcuts. And Fuel
runs fine, except that it's apparently impossible to configure it to use
--httpauth, or to make it use the url and credentials stored in the fossil
repo.

I have no control over the fact that work PCs are locked down in this way.
Getting developers administrator privileges for their computers is a weeks
long process.

I was hoping to get in touch to with the Fuel devs somehow, to be able to
configure this. We can work around the PC restrictions, but it's gonna be a
cold day in hell before they turn off the corporate firewall.

(and how to tell fossil how to read the http proxy script is another issue
entirely... ;) )
