Follow-up Comment #4, bug #30714 (project make):
I don't have any Windows systems; all my systems run Linux or some UNIX
variant. So, I can't support Windows myself and I rely on a group of
volunteers to maintain that platform (just like with VMS and other non-POSIX
platforms).
One concern with "falling back" is that you don't want to do it if the
command fails for some reason _other_ than the command is not found. We
definitely do not want to try to fall back to a shell method in any other
error case. I don't know enough Windows to know if we can determine that
accurately.
