[Axiom-developer] Last note for the evening on Axiom Windows development

[Mike Thomas]

Hi all.

One last thought for the evening...

There are a number of "system()" calls to Unix utilities for directory 
make/delete and file copy in "src/interp"  - this may explain 
directories not being made on Windows and *.daase files not being in place.

These functions should be replaced with C equivalents in 
cfun.c.pamphlet, not only for the lack of those utilities on Windows but 
also because the semantics of system() are different (no POSIX shell, 
file path expectations are different, no wildcard expansion by cmd.exe 
etc) so it is a comprehensively non-portable way to do things.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
