Windows friendlyness

[simoneb]

fork() is not supported on Windows, for instance

[rlister]

Ah, I know next to nothing about windows. Is there a library which will fake fork() on that platform? Or better yet, I've been thinking about switching the cmdline client back to using threads, is that supported?

Also, in auger/bin there is a very simple synchronous client called aug_simple. It's slow, but can you tell me if it works on windows?

[simoneb]

aug_simple works indeed. I know little about ruby, just quickly read on SO
by looking up the error from aug that someone suggested using spawn, which
is in Windows.

Well, this is great news. I'm travelling and in meetings on Tues, but on Wed I'll fix up the threaded version and we can try that with windows.

Good, just ping here when ready and I'll try it out.
