I've run the test suite on the MS-Windows build of this RC.  All the
tests that are expected to pass, do pass, after tweaking the scripts
to heed to MS-Windows idiosyncrasies.

The following tests should be disabled on MS-Windows, because they
cannot possibly work:

 . 1 test in misc/bs-nl that uses single quotes around newlines
 . 1 test in misc/general3 that uses single quotes around newlines
 . 1 test in misc/general4 that unsets PATH (this cannot work on
   Windows because Make will be unable to find the DLLs against which
   it was linked, so it fails to start without valid PATH)
 . targets/ONESHELL in its entirety (this feature doesn't work on
   Windows)
 . targets/POSIX in its entirety
