Description (last modified by nejucomo)
The Windows GUI app (removed by #1282) supported running a Tahoe node as a service. Currently, tahoe start does the same thing as tahoe run on Windows, but it would be better for it to run a service. src/allmydata/windows/tahoesvc.py has some of the code needed, although it currently depends on the Tahoe process being an executable file created by py2exe.
This should be implemented in a way that does not preclude running more than one node with different base directories.

There are important usability and security issues to consider. Daira just pointed out that a service shared across the system would need different alias files between users.
These issues are similar to those documented in #1665.
