I believe the problem shows up before nmake enters the build
(bin/package make bootstraps a few commands and libraries, nmake among them,
 then switches to nmake for the remainder of the build)
the pipe/subprocess code went through a lot of change for the solaris 
integration
but has come full circle back to the simpler model
(it took all those changes to get the insight to make the simple
 model handle the specific problem the changes were intended to fix)
