Digger on Windows -- should it work?

Hi.

I'd like to test locally whether a commit 
(https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/16400) fixes an issue 
(https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24440).  The GitHub 
instructions in the PR tell to use Digger for a quick and easy 
check, but it fails to build on Windows with the following 
message:

<...>
std.file.FileException at std\file.d(454): 
<...>\work\repo\dmd\src\win32.mak: The system cannot find the 
file specified.
<...>

And yeah, there is no such file there.  Only osmodel.mak and 
posix.mak of the relevant kind.

So, nowadays, is Digger supposed to work on Windows?  It did, the 
last time I tried, but that was several years ago.

Ivan Kazmenko.
