Willing to pay for upgrade

[Joe Fineman]

It would improve my quality of life if
edit-current-field-in-external-editor worked under Windows XP,
sufficiently that I am willing to pay someone who can make it happen.
I will welcome bids.

The spawn helper needs to be ported to Windows for this to happen.
Someone was recently working on this but didn't have much luck. Also,
I think they depended on cygwin.

The next major release of xulrunner will add features to the process
API which will allow us to eliminate the spawn helper, making
edit-current-field-in-external-editor work on all platforms.

I suggest waiting it out as porting the spawn helper at this time
would be a waste of effort.

Cheers,

- Nick

Cool. This also means that as soon as this is available in conkeror
and the new xulrunner release is available in Debian, I can drop the
conkeror-spawn-process-helper package.
