I did that in the attached patch. t/porting/utils.t also needs git in %PATH% to fail on win32, since if there is no working git, the whole file is skipped, and I dont always keep git in my %PATH% on win32.
I dont personally like the idea of sending the error to null and I dont like the patch I wrote, since whatever info ("active code page") is collected will be wrong with no warning for EUMM users. IDK enough to say if having the wrong infp makes a difference in the end or not.
