We need to get a windows build not up for phabricator that stops breaking changes from getting submitted.

Sigh.  The testsuite fails utterly on Windows, with thousands of identical errors

Compile failed (status 256) errors were:

*** unexpected failure for tc012(normal)

Presumably this is some kind of Windows escape-character problem.  But it has worked fine for years, so what is going on?

It’s very tiresome dealing with Windows breakage so frequently.   A few regression test failures, maybe, but outright breakage is very bad.
