Don't care about being a "Tortoise" application.

However; it seems to me that you're essentially abandoning Windows support
with this decision, and THAT I care about deeply just at the moment. 
Losing support for Windows Explorer would uncheck the "Windows
integration" checkbox in most Windows shops, I believe, eliminating
Mercurial from consideration.  Having to run "some other browser" is not
an acceptable alternative to most windows users, especially management.

Your subject line says just "overlay icons"; but your list of gains seems
to indicate that direct Explorer Integration is a pain (I believe it) and
that this change would eliminate that pain.  Apologies if I have
misunderstood what that means.
