It is indeed unusual for a Gnulib module to abort its configuration on
native Windows with a fatal error.

But it is equally unusual for a Gnulib module to provide just a dummy stub
on some platforms.

Therefore, ideally, someone would port this module to native Windows
(considering drive letters, JOINs, SUBSTs, and \\...\ shares). Then we
could remove the AC_MSG_ERROR.
