  • tools/ helper scripts (xzcat, sort, cat_squeeze, mktemp)
  • *.test files use $XZCAT, $SORT, $CAT_SQUEEZE, $MKTEMP
  • regtest.py: platform-aware .exe lookup, portable executor on Windows, UTF-8 handling
  • joblib required, loky backend
  • Windows CI job (tests step in PowerShell) and README docs
  • Verified on Linux (normal shell and REGTEST_PORTABLE=1)
  • Windows build step: make CC=cl is likely wrong (CLI sources need unistd.h/getopt.h; Makefile uses gcc-style flags). Needs switching to MinGW/clang or a getopt shim for MSVC.
