I have tried gush on windows, it mostly works ok, but I haven't spent
much effort on windows.

I've just updated gush with a couple of Windows-compatibility fixes.
One was simple, I had to change the per-directory history file name
mapping to avoid characters that Windows doesn't allow in filenames.

The other was more awkward - in the filename completion popup menus
I generate submenus for subdirectories. On Unix submenus are
populated only when required and this works ok. But on Windows
all submenus are generated at the same time as their parent.
So if you pressed tab for file completion at the top of a deep
directory hierarchy, gush could hang for some time while
generating all the possible submenus. To avoid this I have
simply disabled file-completion submenus on Windows - you only
get one level at a time.
