windows: add win32com.shell to demandimport ignore list

Module 'appdirs' tries to import win32com.shell (and catch ImportError as an
indication of failure) to check whether some further functionality should
be implemented one or another way [1]. Of course, demandimport lets it down, so
if we want appdirs to work we have to add it to demandimport's ignore list.

The reason we want appdirs to work is becuase it is used by setuptools [2] to
determine egg cache location. Only fairly recent versions of setuptools depend
on this so people don't see this often.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
