[issue480] hg serve requires page load to exit on windows

[Forest Wilkinson]

New submission from Forest Wilkinson <h1brzs702 at sneakemail.com>:

When I run 'hg serve' on Windows, pressing ^C does not cause mercurial to exit.
 It just ignores my keystrokes until something connects to the listening socket.

I had a similar problem in some of my own code, when using python's
BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer.serve_forever().  I worked around it by replacing this:

  server.serve_forever()

with this:

  thread = threading.Thread( target=server.serve_forever)
  thread.setDaemon( True)
  thread.start()
  while True:
    time.sleep(1)
