-- Every time a makefile runs xcopy, there's a segfault in kernel32.dll,
- which hangs the bash shell with an endless succession of error boxes.
- The only way I found to break out of this was to bring up the debugger,
- close it, then type Ctrl+C at the hung bash shell. The bash shell
- appears to be fine at that point, but you can never close it (short of
- killing it via the task manager).
- Same thing if xcopy32 is used instead.
- xcopy works OK directly from a bash shell. The segfaults occur if it's
- run via a makefile, or via a shell script. Guessing a problem with I/O
- redirection, since some other apps can't see keyboard input before the
- hung stuff is killed.

- Workaround: xxcopy works fine <http://www.xxcopy.com/>; free for
- personal use, but not for commercial use. Rename it to xcopy.exe and
- get it into your path before the native xcopy, or fiddle the XCOPY
- defn in common.mk to use xxcopy instead of xcopy.
