Instead of asking a hundred further questions, let me do this right and
educate myself properly. I have a UNIX background, not a Windows one.
What (book [hopefully]) should I read to understand the Windows side of
things that usually goes on in this context we are --- Emacs for
Windows, msys2 and such? (If it's written by someone who a UNIX
background, that'll be even better. I'm definitely going to reduce all
Windows matters to UNIX primitives, as I was trying to do above.)
Thank you!
