Running tests on Windows

Hello,
I am currently trying to run some mercurial tests under Windows. I know
there are issues with this, mostly related to the usage of Unix shell
scripts. What I would like to know is: is there any way to run some of
the tests ("test-pull" for instance) with the following configuration ?:
WinXP
Cygwin
ActivePython 2.4
I already changed something in run-tests.py to make it execute shell
scripts through "sh" directly instead of relying on shebang magic (which
probably does not work for me since the cygwin shell first calls
ActivePython). I am stuck with ActivePython trying to execute files from
cygwin paths like "/cygdrive/d/mercurial/tests/test", which obviously
does not work outside of cygwin.
Besides, are there any plans to improve testing support on non-Unix
platforms?
Thank you.
