>>> Yeah, I was hoping that might get a comment from Andrew. I think if it works as-is on windows, we could just use
itthis way until it causes a problem on some platform or other. It’s not a runtime issue, being only a build-time
test,and only then when tap tests are enabled *and* running check-world, so nobody should really be adversely affected.
I’ll likely get around to testing this on Windows, but I don’t have any Windows environments set up yet, as that is
stillon my todo list.

I’m just now working on getting my Windows VMs set up with Visual Studio and whatnot, per the wiki instructions, so I
don’tneed to burden you with this sort of Windows task in the future. If there are any gotchas not mentioned on the
wiki,I’d appreciate pointers about how to avoid them. I’ll try to help devise a solution, or test what you come up
with,once I’m properly set up for that.
For no particular reason, I chose Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 Pro.
