Hey jdub, do you know if this allows a Linux process to exec() a .EXE?

And does it support inotify?

These would be my likely pain points for dropping git-annex's windows port in favor of this. Fingers crossed.

I don't have any inside info, but I suspect "no" on the former (but not outside the realms of possibility), and "not yet" on the latter (but I reckon *notify will land because lots of dev tools use it to watch for code changes).
