git-daemon doesn't (currently) work on msysgit. Currently I run git-daemon
on my linpus netbook and pull/push from windows.

I didn't know that.  Windows sockets are mercifully very nearly
compatible with Linux ones, so hopefully this wouldn't be too hard to
fix for someone that needs it.  (Not me; I prefer cygwin over msys in
all cases.)

git-daemon relies on fork, do work, then later exec.  Windows lacks
this concept.  Making it hard to port.

Before anyone starts hacking: I've got a working git-daemon on
Windows, based on some old patches from Mike Pape, plus some extending
of the start_async-api. It's still not ready for submission, but I
think I've got the last important technical details nailed down now,
all that is needed is a fair share of clean-up. Hopefully I'll have it
ready for submission during the week-end some time.
