Yes, hopefully. A while back, I ran bootstrap.sh under Windows (with MSYS as I
recall) and it sort of failed, I presume that the details are not
interesting. I (think I) know, now, that you are not supposed to do that,
that under Windows, you must install the dependencies individually.
Getting to the point here: I don't see a check on the environment anywhere, I
am not sure how to do that, but you probably know. In any case, adding a
check that produces an error message if you try to run this script under
(MSYS or Cygwin) under Windows would seem valuable. Had such a check been in
place at the time a while back that I refer to, I would have been spared some
agony.
