Windows webapp now starts, opens a web browser, and ... crashes.

This is [a bug in warp](https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/issues/202)
or a deep level of the stack. I know that yesod apps have run on Windows
before, so apparently something has changed and introduced this problem.
Also have a problem with the autobuilder; the EvilSplicer or something
it runs is locking up on that system for reasons not yet determined.
Looks like I will need to wait a bit longer for the windows webapp, but I
could keep working on porting the assistant in the meantime.
The most important thing that I need to port is how to check if a file
is being written to at the same time the assistant adds it to the
repository. No real `lsof` equivilant on Windows. I might be able to do
something with exclusive locking to detect if there's a writer (but this
would also block using the file while it was being added). Or I may be able
to avoid the need for this check, at least in direct mode.
