Anyway, setting `(setq find-program (purecopy
"C:/msys64/usr/bin/find.exe"))` makes the above example work at the moment.
Perhaps all NTEmacs users should set the 3 options: grep-program,
find-program, xargs-program. My only concern now is the potential issue
with backslashes and encoding. Hence, I have to keep Projectile as the
fallback solution because it has a native implementation.
Best Regards,
