I'd argue the opposite --- the existing shell-script version is entirely
useless to developers running on Windows, while they could use a Perl
version. Also, we've pretty much locked in the assumption that developers
will have Perl.
I've not actually looked at Andrew's script yet, but if it works I think
we should replace the shell script.
