Forget MSDOS. It's a problem for everyone. It means to build Emacs
the end users will have to install a tool that is not there out of the
box. I think this is a serious argument against using CMake.

That should be the least of our problems.

MSYS is already unnecessary (and even not recommended), and GnuWin32
is just a bunch of ported programs with no relation to one another.
The Windows build requires only `cp' and `rm', and they don't have to
be from GnuWin32.

I think it's inconvenient even on GNU/Linux.
