Hi,

It does, IIRC that change was needed because cl.exe interpreted part of
the path as a switch otherwise, and got confused.

It has been a while since I tried that by accident, because sh.exe has
horrible start up time (increases build time by a factor of ten), but
IIRC it worked.

Is that going to be built using Makefile.win32?

Is there some infrastructure for testing this on more architectures?
