Likely it has always happened, but the old `setup' hid all stdout. The
solution is probably to change the lexer to use `log-warning', but I'll
look into it.

Windows files with FILE_SHARE_DELETE. Hopefully, that will allow open
files to be deleted or replaced by a rename, as cm expects. So, that's
another experiment for tomorrow.
