So the first issue I've run into is as follows.

I've downloaded the depot_tools, I've added them to the END of my path, 
I've opened a new cmd shell and run `gclient` and this hangs after echoing 
the "downloading python" statement.

If instead I run this within a git bash window I first see help content

If there are any tips for dealing with this I'd appreciate it. It appears 
that the instructions say
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools step 3 says

"you may encounter bugs from time to time" 

:)
