I'll look into that. As I mentioned, we needed a quick solution late in
RC stage, and since then the issue has not been considered. At least,
not by me.

Yes, that is a good idea. I'll do that. The original reason for
choosing gnuwin32 was that there were no dependencies on external
libraries - they were only linked to MS DLLs. And at the time DLL Hell
was still a thing. But now that we are dependant upon git anyway we
might as well use the resources that are provided with it.
