* In -p output, .RECIPEPREFIX settings are shown and all target-specific
variables are output as if in a makefile, instead of as comments.
+* On MS-Windows, recipes that use ".." quoting will no longer force
+ invocation of commands via temporary batch files and stock Windows
+ shells, they will be short-circuited and invoked directly. (In
+ other words, " is no longer a special character for stock Windows
+ shells.) This avoids hitting shell limits for command length when
+ quotes are used, but nothing else in the command requires the shell.
+ This change could potentially mean some minor incompatibilities in
+ behavior when the recipe uses quoted string on shell command lines.
