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

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.
