Ugh…they’re still shipping a version of Findutils from *March 2005*.  The 
current release (4.6.0) is less than a year old.

Still, it seems to work, even with the single-quoted \n in Andy’s command.  The 
GnuWin port must be doing some kind of command line parsing for you to allow 
that.

Fair warning: I did that test with a Cygwin build of Fossil.  Does the native 
Windows fossil.exe emit just LF characters for line breaks in a pipeline, or 
does it do CRLF?

Another option for xargs on Windows is:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm

And there are other packages in the gnuwin32 project that might be useful.
