 // This test greps for %t, which is expanded to a path with backslashes. When

-// don't do right now.
-// UNSUPPORTED: windows
+// that is passed to grep, those backslashes must be escaped. We escape those
+// within the pattern into a file and use this file with 'grep'.
 
 // Make sure that substitutions are performed inside additional compiler flags.
