I agree that it looks odd, but I didn't feel it worth the effort
to avoid the message on non-windows hosts. Given that this is the
first time someone has brought this up since 14-Aug-1999 when it
was added, I would imagine that it doesn't bother people that much.
I'll take a quick look, and see what needs to be done.
