[issue3310] hg serve won't start as a daemon with web-conf file on Windows

[Marcel Svitalský]

New submission from Marcel Svitalský <marcel.svitalsky at gmail.com>:

On Windows XP, with Mercurial 2.1.1 (and 2.1 earlier), when I go into some
repository and issue either "hg serve" or "hg serve -d" they both work all
right, but when I try "hg serve --web-conf c:\somepath\hgwebrc" it only
works as non-daemon. With "-d" option it crashes immediately with "abort:
child process failed to start" error message.

The hgwebrc file is as simple as this:

[web]
style = monoblue
address = localhost

[paths]
/mercurial/repo = c:\develop\repo
