GNU make comes with a Visual Studio solution; the LDC AppVeyor jobs use a
prebuilt version of mine. bash is available as part of git for Windows (already
installed on AppVeyor).
See
https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_and_hacking_LDC_on_Windows_using_MSVC#Running_the_dmd-testsuite_tests
for make download link etc.

Wrt. bash, I seem to recall that this line here was of importance (not in DMD's
test makefile):
