Comment (by warner):

 Sigh. Alright, Zooko has convinced me that keeping {{{-m}}} working (at
 least for {{{tahoe start -m}}}) is not worth needing to manage different
 {{{--help}}} texts for windows. I've agreed to remove {{{-m}}} support and
 write a local shell script or something to do the equivalent function
 (zooko suggests {{{function tahoestartm { for NODE in ${*} ; do tahoe
 start $NODE ; done } }}}).

 I'll be bitter about it, though :-). I should keep a list of useful
 features that I've had to remove because they weren't easy to implement
 under windows, especially when nobody would ever have noticed that they
 were missing under windows. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person who
 has ever used {{{tahoe start -m}}}, and it will take me some time to
 retrain my fingers to type something else.

 The code will be cleanest if we remove {{{-m}}} from everything (did you
 know it was accepted by {{{tahoe create-client}}}, {{{tahoe create-
 keygen}}}, and {{{tahoe create-stats-gatherer}}}? yeah, didn't think so
 :-). I don't think anyone will miss it.

 I'll put together a patch to remove -m from everything and attach it here.
