"Win" does not seem to exist

Issue #14 claims that it "works", but it does not:

exec: "Win": executable file not found in %PATH%

win works in unix systems because it comes with plan9port.

There is a port of win to Go here: https://github.com/rjkroege/winmux, but I don't know how well it works or whether it works in Windows.

Hm...this should probably be documented.

I never finished my port of winmux to go. 😒 I'll update the docs about tools.

I updated the readme appropriately. I think that we could use this issue to track the fact that the Edwood without plan9port is also without a lot of the Plan9 ecosystem that makes it useful.

  • 9pfuse or something equivalent
  • win
  • a shell

There are probably lots of other things that we could add here like acme-lsp, or rsc's tools from 9fans/go? At some point, it seems worth considering to have a "batteries included" distribution scheme.

Also missing:

  • plumber
  • factotum
  • Mail (and mailfs)

And wikipediafs, of course. (Was that even ported at all?) 😏
