TeX Live has to treat Windows and Unix differently in many places.
This makes the code less maintainable or at least less comprehensible.
Since we are talking about a few tiny files (not even a package), it's
certainly better to avoid the extra complexity here.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
