Interesting. I installed it here (Windows 7 x64).

Having native Windows GUI elements looks nice. Using .Net under the hood
is interesting as well.

I'm thinking about generalising thg's context menu mechanism. Maybe we
can externalise the context menu strings and command definitions into a
file and then load that at runtime into the shell extension. So we might
be able to switch the command set between hgtk and hgwin.

The shell extension overlays should already be independent of the GUI
commands (modulo the shell extension settings dialog of course, but that
should be easy to port to .Net). The update icons command needs some
special treatment and the Overlay Icon Update Server could be reused
from thg for now. A .Net replacement would be doable though (I think).
