Run Mercurial as Windows Service

[António Mertens]

Thank you for the feedback... I don't saw anything about the TortoiseHG
project (only saw the Qtc that is a simple commit interface) but it's a good
thing to look into to. I'd love have a nice tortoise for my hg projects, if
somebody knows something about this post it here so we could look into to
it.

I'm a little short on time with my work and my college but on my free time
maybe I can start working on something...

Cheers All!
