7u40 on WXP/Cygwin: webrev: Is there a java or ant version of webrev?

[Francis ANDRE]

Hi Magnus

This thread is quite an old thread on the webrev/ksh topic and I already told 
you in a previous thread that the problem was coming from the TortoiseHG that 
was located in the PATH before the cygwin hg. The real problem is the mix of ksh 
and TortoiseHG and thus only webrev got this issue because it cannot be run 
under another shell. TortoiseHG alone works pretty well with cygwin and the gnu 
make.

I would suggest to add in the cygwin section of the README-build.html a line for 
hg mercurial

Name 	Category 	Package 	Description
hg.exe 	Devel 	binutils 	Python based distributed version control system (DVCS)


and specify also that the local TortoiseHG binaries be removed from the path.

Francis

Thus I am wondering if there is a java or ant version of webrev because I am not able to fix this issue in a 3000+ lines of ksh while that's not a problem in java or ant.
