Hi Eli,

Yes, it is for MS Windows. See the definition of
shadow-test-remote-temporary-file-directory.

If you know a temporary directory located on a remote host, you could
run

# env REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY=/plink:host:/tmp make -C test shadowfile-tests

See the explanation of $REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY in the
Commentary section of tramp-tests.el. Hmm, maybe I should add a similar
Commentary section to shadowfile-tests.el

Best regards, Michael.
