Side note: LDC has been using GNUmake on Windows for years, incl.
extending some upstream Makefiles to work with and test Windows
targets too.
While GNUmake itself is surprisingly portable (source comes with
a Visual Studio project working out of the box, resulting in a
little 330 KB Win64 stand-alone executable), the tests require
bash and the usual little GNU tools.
Fortunately, a normal git installation on Windows provides the
expected GNU environment, incl. bash.
