I wondered about that too. The sources probably require the /u (property files), but we need \x if we want to process the
text with Unix utilities?  I'm just getting started understanding this stuff in detail.
I may look into this further for more refinement, but my main focus as to start looking at possible fixes
that might make the windows builds more reliable, doing the least damage as possible ;^)
Long command lines can cause issues, as well too many pipes in a command.

Windows/CYGWIN is somewhat brittle when it comes to shell commands, and with plans to move to Windows 7 X64
where CYGWIN/X64 issues and CYGWIN/Windows7 issues might make things worse, I need this as solid as we can get.
Tim is looking into MinGW/MSYS as a better solution, but until then.....
