Powershell is more of a real shell than the cmd window is.I cannot find a
decent link but this is quite good

It seems that text processing in PS is much more 'like' a UNIX shell
whereas cmd is not. I expect that the limits that we document in the AU doc
about quotes and double quotes are 'probably' not an issue in PS env.

The difference mainly is that in PS there are already pre-build cmdlets
that you cannot get in just the cmd prompt. It's more powerful for Windows
users than the cmd prompt is. For lilypond though it may be simply a way
for NIX users to run some of the commands on Windows without the unexpected
results.

I've never really tried.
