Re: [PATCH 2/4] Windows: Add 'move' to sh_cmds_dos

Thanks Eli,

On systems where move *is* a built-in, gnumake fails as CreateProcess(NULL, "move" ...) doesn't work.
On systems where move *is not* a built-in, my proposed fix is fine as "cmd.exe /c move" still works.

Cheers,

Ray.

It's not a bug, it is done on purpose: 'move' is a built-in on some
versions of Windows, and a .exe program on others.

Thanks.
