[ANN] pysh 0.3

[Patrick Mézard]

Hello,

0.3 - 2007-05-01
----------------
* Fix many bugs related to shebangs and quoted fields parsing/expansion, 
25 more tests pass since the last release (thanks to Alexis's simplemerge).


Quick Overview
--------------
pysh implements a subset of sh in python, good enough to run mercurial 
tests under win32. This version still requires Cygwin setup in binary-LF 
mode for utility support, sysinternal PsKill utility, and targets python 
2.4 for subprocess availability (I wrote and tested it with python 2.5 
so I do not guarantee anything there but be happy to correct any issue 
with it).

(Please look at README in pysh bundle for more details about setup and 
implementation)
