I'm surprised by this comment.
1) Windows uses a completely different makefile. One could choose not
to implement the feature on Windows.
2) cp.exe and rm.exe are already required. Wouldn't the user already
have mv.exe from the same location as cp.exe and rm.exe?
3) What's wrong with "MV = move" in nmake.defs?
For that matter, why not use copy and del instead of cp and rm ?
Am I missing something?
