Mark Hammond updated COUCHDB-374:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: couchspawnkillable_win.c

I noticed that depending on how erlang itself is started, couchspawnkillable may not have a valid stderr, so would fail.  This new version only considers failure to duplicate stdin and stdout fatal and ignores failure duplicating stderr.

> The shell script 'couchspawnkillable' doesn't work on windows, meaning lots of things are broken in the trunk.  It might be possible to bash cygwin/msys etc to work, but I think a better solution for windows is a custom little C app which does the same basic thing.
> I've attached the source for such an app and it works for me.  It creates a suspended child process with the same handles as us, then echos the 'kill' command, then spawns the real app and terminates.  The 'kill command' is a reference to the same couchspawnkillable.exe but with a '--kill' command-line.  I've not tried to integrate with a build system, but simple instructions are at the top of the file.
> Attaching it here so it doesn't get lost...
