Given the obnoxiousness of Command Prompt, and how foreign it is to working on 
Windows, I think maybe there should be an addendum *somewhere*, but I don't 
expect anyone else to write it. (Goodness, there is a devguide chapter for 
emacs editing.) The easiest way to run direct hg commands is within the command 
pane of Workbench.

About  "run `make patchcheck`". The current Committing page gives
"(or ./python.exe Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py on Windows)" as the windows 
equivalent. './' does not work on Windows. '.\' will, but I do not know if it 
is needed. I presume the command should be given from within a particular 
repository. In its top directory, 'python' will run the installed python, 
'PCbuild\python.exe' or 'PCbuild\python_d.exe' (backslash required here, though 
not in the patchcheck path) is needed to run the python built from that 
repository.
