What would be nice is if someone who has eXist working under Windows could
simply report that fact here.

I can't see anything that would prevent it working, provided it is run under
the Sun Java machine. Wolfgang seems to have provided all the necessary .bat
files to deliver the same functionality as the shell scripts, and it's
really only those batch files and shell scripts that are OS -specific. But I
wouldn't expect it to work with the Microsoft Java VM (apart from anything
else, the encoding support is inadequate). One further thing to check with
2K or XP is that the owner of the eXist server process has permission to
write to the data store areas. Some Win2K machines have very odd permissions
hierarchies.
