Would you (or really anyone doing windows development) mind taking a little time
and investigate fixing that?  I don't think it'd be particularly hard, but I
don't do any development on windows.  There's very few tools involved (a list
from a quick scan of the single Makefile and the test script 'do_test.sh':

  gnu make
  mkdir
  rm
  cat
  bash
  grep
  tr
  diff

I'd really like it to be the test platform everyone can and does use.

Thanks,
Brad
