Research direction

Start by reproducing perl -Ilib ./scripts/yath test --default-search ./t --default-search ./t2 with the reported Strawberry Perl and Windows versions. Inspect the scripts/yath entry point and the t and t2 test directories while comparing behavior with a non-Windows run. Done means the command no longer hangs and produces test output on Windows.
