+# If you're on Win32 then it should still work, but various Unix command-line
+# tools will need to be available somewhere. An obvious choice is to install
+# Cygwin and ensure its 'bin' folder is on the PATH in the shell where you run
+# this script. The Cygwin 'bin' folder needs to precede the Windows 'system32'
+# folder so that Cygwin's 'find' command is found in preference to the Windows
+# 'find' command. Your Cygwin installation will need to contain at least the
+# 'cpio' command, in addition to the commands installed by default, and it will
+# also be useful to have 'curl' and 'diffstat' installed too for later stages
+# of the release process (namely, Porting\corelist.pl and generating the commit
+# statistics for the perlXYZdelta.pod file respectively). Finally, ensure that
+# the 'awk' and 'shasum' commands are copies of gawk.exe and sha1sum.exe
+# respectively, rather than the links to them that only work in a Cygwin bash
+# shell which they are by default.
