The instance recipe should advertise that it only works on Windows,  
because it is based on zdaemon.  I  tend to forget that zdaemon  
doesn't work on Windows. :/

This isn't easy for *me* to fix because I don't have enough Windows  
foo.  I'd be happy to work with someone who knew Windows well,  
especially services (or other long-running process options, if  
any).   If anyone like that is going to be at the sprint at the  
upcoming DZUG meeting, I'd be very happy to work with them there.

A partial fix that only supports the ctl 'fg', 'run', and 'debug',  
commands should be fairly easy, although I'm a bit hesitant without  
understanding how we might want this to work in the long run.
