 If Makefiles were a reliable option for Windows, I'd be right there with
 you. 🙂

 Thank you for testing, @pbearne! It looks like the patch didn't apply
 correctly, as the `./tools/local-env/start.sh` script is removed by this
 patch.

 Could you describe how you applied the patch, and any messages that showed
 when you applied it?

 It's also worth noting that you should use [attachment:"47767.3.diff"],
 not [attachment:"47767.4.diff"]. The former is correct for `trunk`, the
 latter is a proof of concept backport for the 3.7 branch.
