Hi,

I downloaded GNU Emacs for Windows from here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html#nonfree

Some of my favorite dired​ commands do not work. The errors mention commands 
that Emacs would find in the system if it were running on, say, Linux (eg: 
find, xargs, ls). For example, I can't mark files and search for a string 
(`dired-do-find-regexp`). I can't run find-name-dired​. To get past that, I set 
the variable find-program​ to point to a binary that came with Git, but then it 
fails again because there is no ls​.

Am I supposed to also install Cygwin or something like that, to provide these 
Unix commands to Emacs? It seems strange to me that there was no mention of 
this on the download page. Maybe it's just a few dired commands and I notice 
because I like to use them.
