I've been using CouchDB (0.9.0) on windows for the past couple of 
months.  I switched from Linux so that I could use a large amount of 
legacy C++ code, re-worked into a series of little executables, which 
are launched by couch's extern handler to perform certain tasks.  For my

extern-handler capability
