Description
In #853 a user on Windows had changed their PATH so that there was no route.exe. This causes Tahoe-LAFS 1.5.0-r1408 to emit an unhelpful error message and call os.abort(). I've written a unit test to simulate this condition, but now I'm not sure what Tahoe-LAFS ought to do in this case:
- Emit a help error message like "Hey you have no IP address" and then os.abort()
- Go ahead and start up. You don't necessarily need an IP address to operate as a Tahoe-LAFS client or server!
