The "extra careful" things you were complaining about with the new
test I was adding to t6043 was true of every single test in that
file...and likely much of t6036, t6042, and perhaps even t6046 (though
those have fewer tests than t6043).  I have no clue where I'd even
begin to draw the line between them.  If it's possible, it sounds
extremely complex.  Just using the EXPENSIVE_ON_WINDOWS prereq that
already exists would be easy and simple.

Or did you mean you wanted me to duplicate every single test and
attempt to trim down the duplicates somehow?  That'd be a rather large
undertaking that sounds rather unappealing on a few fronts, but maybe
that's what you had in mind?

Ooh, sweet, sounds like I should propose it.
