Sorry about that. When I wrote my patches, I was using MinGW on Linux or on
Windows with MSYS, so a shell was easier to use. I didn't consider MSVC at
that time. I can fix it and not require a shell.

That's weird. IIRC, the file platforms/CMakeLists.txt file exists, and it
shouldn't look for that file in platforms/win32. I'll fix the configure
script this evening.
