* Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
-* Webapp doesn't build yet.
+* Webapp doesn't build yet. Well, it all builds, but link fails:
+ "Unable to start C:\Program Files\Haskell
+ Platform\2013.2.0.0\mingw\bin/realgcc.exe (error code: 87)"
+ This is the same problem that occurs when trying to link it
+ with WebDAV or XMPP enabled.
+
+ Filed a ghc bug: <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596>
+
+ Tried to do a minimal build with only the assistant and webapp, but that
+ also failed to link (was around 40k gcc command line).
+
+ May need to separate out Common and Git into standalone libraries to
+ work around this? Ugh.

* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete.
