Thanks, I'll try that.

I'm avoiding any change that might collide with your work.
I'm deliberately keeping my latest commits local only,
because they're trivial and I'll be able to resolve any
conflicts easily after your upcoming commits.

At the moment, all I plan to do is add a new 'install_posix.sh'
(which will later lead to a big refactoring, e.g.:
-  install_posix.sh, largely duplicating install_msw.sh
+  install_prereq.sh, install_{posix,msw}.sh, post_install.sh
as you had recently recommended. (If you're already doing that,
don't let me stop you; otherwise, I'll do it, because it's all
now in L0 cache, where solutions are obvious.) I have just a
handful of small incidental changes, all of which can wait:
