Much thanks, Martin, to rub my eyes.

I'm successive with Cygwin to run awk scripts on Windows, but there is no library for ksh (Kern Shell) :-( MKS should be part of "Windows Services for UNIX", see <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korn-Shell>:

Die /MKS Korn shell/ ist eine weitere kommerzielle ksh-Implementierung. Sie ist Bestandteil von Microsofts <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft> Windows Services for UNIX <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_Services_for_UNIX> (SFU) sowie dem Subsystem für UNIX-basierte Anwendungen (SUA) der Windows Vista <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows_Vista> Enterprise und Ultimate Editionen.

But maybe nobody has ever tried to run webrev under MKS.

The webrev script was developed by Sun developers for use on Solaris. Use on Windows is unsupported. You are not likely to find much support on this mailing list for doing jdk development on windows, and especially not using Microsoft "Windows Services for UNIX". Sun engineers use Cygwin or MKS for creating a Unixoid environment on Windows (but's it's still painful).

I think configuring the PATH on Windows is a little outside the scope of this mailing list and there are plenty of sources for such information elsewhere.

Maybe you are right. But my question is not, how to set a path on Windows, it's how the webrev script interoperates with paths, defined on Windows. I have set the path to to the 'hg.exe' on Windows, but webrev script doesn't find it. I've also posted my question to the Microsoft "Windows Services for UNIX" forum, but I'm afraid, that people there don't know how to interpret webrev's error message. So where to find people developing inside JDK under Windows (additionally having knowledge about webrev script)?
