I don't think you understand what I am suggesting. I was talking about
fixing the example to run correctly under Windows. That's what I meant
about it being a teaching opportunity; the example should show how to
correctly structure a script to use a parallel grid search on all
platforms.

I would additionally suggest that the test-running script also be
fixed to run correctly under Windows.
