Yes, I think it is possible to do that.
I can add more arguments for hgwin commands, if needed, to make a parity
with hgtk.

Well, if you plan to use .Net in the shell extension (I mean in-proc), then
you should be aware of some caveats. Here is a link, that describe some

But, as far as I know the .Net 4.0 can live side by side with .Net 2.0
in one process.
