25 | - Wildcard expansion is disabled by default, though it can be turned on at compile time. This only affects command line arguments to the binary: the BusyBox shell has full support for wildcards. | 25 | * Absolute paths: `c:/path` or `//host/share` |

The system only admits to knowing about the current user and always returns the same hardcoded uid, gid and permission values. | 29 | - Handling of users, groups and permissions is totally bogus.

27 | - Some crufty old Windows code (Windows XP, cmd.exe) doesn't like forward slashes in environment variables. The -X shell option (which must be the first argument) prevents busybox-w32 from changing backslashes to forward slashes. If Windows programs don't run from the shell it's worth trying it. | 30 | - Some crufty old Windows code (Windows XP, cmd.exe) doesn't like forward slashes in environment variables.
