Comment (by LRN):
Yes, i admit that a very small number (a few thousands, i think) of
projects exist that use buildsystems that are only able to work in POSIX
shell, and that this patch was written with these projects in mind.
There's no way to find something on W32, unless you've been pointed to it
(i.e. environment variable or a registry key). Very small number of
conventions exist on W32, and these are mostly not respected by FSW (i
mean, seriously, who would put software into "C:\Program Files (x86)"?).
I think it is reasonable to expect that buidlslave maintainer knows what
kind of things will be run on the slave, and should set up the environment
accordingly (i.e. define the environment variable). So it's a matter of
shifting the configuration burden from master (removes the need to call
'sh.exe' explicitly) to slave (it needs to define a variable to point at
the shell), while also taking some of it off their shoulders (commandline
-> shell script file, with some primitive quoting).
