On a Windows 10 laptop, I opened a powershell (for the first time in my 
life) and added the location of SPP's gcc and perl  bin folders to the path:

PS C:\p> 
$Env:Path="$Env:Path;C:\_64\strawberry5.24.0-ld\c\bin;C:\_64\strawberry5.24.0-ld\perl\bin"

(I'm not proposing that as the solution - I would think you'd want to 
provide an alternative to portableshell.bat that does that for the user.)
But does that provide the functionality that's required ? ... or are there 
some issues regarding the functionality thus obtained ?
It seemed fine to me - whereas running SPP's portableshell.bat from inside 
an already existing powershell seemed to bugger up the shell's behavioural 
characteristics.

Cheers,
Rob
