Since so many people have reported problems on double-clicking files
in Windows recently, I tried it myself using a recently installed
version 2.2.0-1 in Cygwin on a Windows XP professional.

Now you will be able to copy and paste the messages.
I tried to put a file on the Desktop and double click on it.
Result: A black command window appears and disappears directly, no files
generated.
I started command prompt in the Desktop and run the command
start /B test.ly
Result: Since lily-wins.py only gets the file name without a full path,
it tries to find the file $HOME/test.ly, i.e. /home/<username>/test.ly
I tried to give a full path at the command prompt but didn't find the
correct syntax to quote the path name,
start /B "C:/Documents and Settings\..." doesn't work.
Finally, I tried to run lily-wins.py 'full path ...' in a Cygwin window
which works well, in spite of the spaces in the directory name.
Honestly, I don't know Windows well enough, but there's clearly a
problem here.
