IMO the objections to requiring MSYS/Cygwin on Windows made no sense in this 
discussion. "Make" is inherently a POSIX command line tool. Anybody using it 
on Windows needs a POSIX environment already anyway. Whether or not you're 
building Windows-native code with it doesn't really enter the equation.

Aside from that, happy to leave this for later.
