Comment:

 Please see branch `bug25787` with PR at
 https://github.com/torproject/tor/pull/143 .

 The fix here IMO is to just cut the Gordian Knot and generate the files we
 need ourself rather than trying at build-time to generate paths that
 Windows tests at run-time will accept.

 cc'ing juga because juga has seen these tests since the beginning, and
 ought to see it when we admit failure :)
