Yes MSVCRT.DLL contains both exec and spawn sets of functions. Yes the parent environment is inherited by the child. So, the stub should be able to work for either environment.
Hmmm...now there's a thought. Perhaps, perhaps...
Said "stub" executable would have to do ALL of the things the script does, and then pass that environment to its exec'ed target in .libs/ -- does native windows provide an exec() command? Environment inheritance? You'd probably need different source code for the stub, depending on the platform... if buildhost == posixy, then exec() is our friend; otherwise, nasty native Windows code...
Unfortunately, I can't work on that right now; my available time just went to zero. :-(
Sorry to hear that. :(
