Find right hg command for detached process On Windows, Mercurial can be run from the python script of from a frozen executable. In the first case, we have to call the python interpreter since the script is not executable. Frozen executable can be called directly. Fix 3/3 for issue421

cmdutil: replace unix pipe handshake with file lock The pipe handshake cannot be implemented with Windows detached process, which disables handle inheritance. Fix 2/3 for issue421

serve: add and use portable spawnvp replacement There is no standard python command to really detach a process under Windows. Instead we use the low level API wrapped by subprocess module with all necessary options to avoid any kind of context inheritance. Unfortunately, this version still opens a new window for the child process. The following have been tried: - os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT): works but the child process is killed when parent console terminates. - os.spawnv(os.P_DETACH): works on python25, hang on python26 when writing to the hgweb output socket. - subprocess.CreateProcess() hack without shell mode: similar to os.spawnv(os.P_DETACH). Fix 1/3 for issue421

shrink-revlog: avoid cryptic error when used as an extension When shrink-revlog is used as an extension, it would produce an error when switching back to stable because the script will try to execute itself.
