Err... Don't want to think about the context for *that* ;-)

That's an argument about the general-purpose API return these files,
not about having a special-purpose API, isn't it?

Ok, now I understand. I will look into it, but no promises and of
course no hurry.

With your binaries installed the test will pass (haven't tested yet,
but seems likely). But that does not solve the issue that someone with
a MSYS2 build environment has a working rcs installation, and yet the
vc-tests fail. Of course, the thing is that, from Emacs POV, that's
not a "working rcs installation" at all...
