That's what I was guessing. Fair enough but it deserves some justification in
the commit log anyway :)
BTW, the main justification for the proxy backend is to provide "extra"
security (the helper chroots into the shared directory). I don't know if
this makes sense on a windows host.
Also, if you go for a windows specific backend as suggested in another
mail, you should probably disable all the other existing backends as
well.
