CouchDB quick start for Windows Users

[Dave Cottlehuber <da...@muse.net.nz>]

Hi folks

FYI I've done a few notes based on FAQs on the list over recent weeks
to help other windows users get relaxing quickly:

http://dch.posterous.com/getting-started-with-couchdb-on-windows-in-4
- quick start guide, using couch.io hosting

http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Quirks_on_Windows
- longer notes on the wiki which need some tweaking & includes the
above notes as well

- Is there anything people need added or think is missing?

Finally, I think I've worked out my last hurdle in being able to
compile fully couch from scratch on windows but will need a few more
days on a fresh build to confirm this. I will post back and would be
keen for some people to test this out. In particular I don't have a
fresh 32-bit windows (XP or later) but an Amazon Windows 2003 Server
install is probably close enough.

cheers
Dave

I would be very interested in some patches for the README.Windows file.
