The window/cygwin specific stuff is lost on me, but I find this part
surprising.  As far as I know, rdiff-backup doesn't use /bin/sh at
all.  Occasionally it has to spawn a process like 'mknod', but it
doesn't use system() for that, so I don't see why /bin/sh would be
required.  Maybe it's a python thing.
