I've got no objection to explicitly omitting Windows, but just wanted to point 
out that LLVM requires various Unix-like tools to be available according to 
https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#software. Whilst `touch` isn't 
explicitly specified, I'd be surprised if you managed to get access to that 
explicit list without including `touch` inadvertently (it's also worth noting 
that there are several other tests that use `touch` and other utilities that 
are intended to work on Windows). I thought that `Git\usr\bin` was recommended 
to be included in people's paths for Windows, as the way to get access to these 
tools, but I couldn't find that recommendation, so maybe that's just our 
downstream recommendation.
