I was hoping to avoid any users having to do anything special, but I appreciate
the help. Thank you.

I did figure out the override directive, so on Windows the shell indicated by
ComSpec is forcibly used. That should eliminate one problem, even though it's
in a way I find kind of distasteful.

I'm kind of curious about something, actually. The GNU make documentation
specifically says that if SHELL isn't set, the value from ComSpec is used to
choose a shell. Why doesn't the SHELL variable reflect that instead of just
defaulting to sh.exe?
