I whole-heartedly agree about the part of the patch that fixes 
git-rebase.sh. This should be a separate patch.

But the reset of the patch is about running the test suite, and it is much 
more difficult to fix because of the 'eval' that is going on. And, yes, I do 
think that we can expect that contributors, including this handful of people 
on Windows, have a "sane" build directory.
