Cool! I'm a Linux user myself so I don't really know anything about
PowerShell. Henrik and Sune told me on IRC that we should bundle most of
the files in posh-hg for it to be useful.
I'm not sure it's nice or good to swallow a bigger project like that. I
had hoped we could just include a single "powershell_completion" file
like we do for bash and zsh.
Maybe it's enough to put a pointer in a file somewhere? There is the
contrib/win32/ReadMe.html file and I'm not even sure when it's shown. If
the Windows installer shows it after installation, then perhaps we could
put a link in that.
Thoughts?
