FYI, while testing building emacs without Cygwin, but with other Windows
versions of rm and cp (which worked fine), I noticed that "touch" is
used in lisp/makefile.w32-in. A little dirty Windows replacement for
touch might be "echo. >>" (echo. sends a newline to stdout).
Also, I managed to "nmake bootstrap && nmake install" without having "mv".
