And so what? I could write tomorrow two utilities, glurb and deglurb,
to compress and uncompress files, but I wouldn't push Emacs to adapt
to them.

You insist in using MinGW/MSYS as a Unixy-tools-on-Windows package,
but it does things its own way and it's not a supported environment
for Emacs on Windows (some things work, some things don't, as you just
found). And then you complain that it is not supported.
