(Yes, this was almost 3 years ago.  Sorry for a long delay.)

The .ONESHELL feature is now supported on MS-Windows, for the default
Windows shell (cmd.exe) or compatible replacements, in the development
version (commit e56aad4).

I realize that one of the important use cases for .ONESHELL is to use
a shell that Make knows nothing about, but as such shells are not yet
supported by the Windows build, I didn't feel it was right to postpone
.ONESHELL any longer.  Volunteers are welcome to contribute support
for foreign shells.
