And this other copy needs either run there permanently as a service or
needs to be started before using unison. On *ix systems this is usually
done with SSH (which AFAIK is integrated into unison in a way that it can
start it automatically), but on Windows systems you'd either have to set up
SSH, run it permanently as a server process, or use some other means to
remotely start unison on the other system (e.g. SysInternals psexec,
Microsoft WSH). 

FWIW, I use a batch file that starts both the remote instance (using
psexec) and the local instance.
