No, the add-cell-by-typing-in-/afs/cellname is not added to arla yet.
Today you either need to read the cellnames from CellServDB (you don't
need the hostnames) or from a root cell of your choice.

I made some stabs at it but never got a production-ready
implementation. Other things have had higher priority, but of course
it can be done, all the necessary mechanisms are in the code.

Tol will come back to you about the Windows stuff.
