Comment (by Ben Gamari <ben@…>):

 Revert "Remove special casing of Windows in generic files"

 This commit didn't consider the fact that binary distributions on Windows
 must
 have relative toolchain paths. This caused #13560.

 This reverts commit 48385cb2fc295eb8af9188cbe140142c1807d5a7 (except for a
 helpful comment).
