breaks bootstraping on W2K when not using sh/bash because

nmake update-subdirs

does *not* work with the stock CMD.EXE. The result is a subdir.el
containing:

> (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '())

For some reason or other, the method used to build the subdirectory list
(assigning to an environment variable) does not work right. I tried to
make it work in CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM, but I couldn't. I suspect we'll
end having to maintain a separate list similar to WINS.

And BTW, why does WINS not contain calc/ and obsolete/? AFAICS they're
used on other environments.
