I'm developing Bash SSG on Windows using BusyBox (because I'm a bit lazy). Rendering on Linux is noticeably faster than on Windows, even when Linux is running in a virtual machine (it's an older laptop - out of memory is my freud).
There is a simple way to bypass this inconvenience. This is because bash first looks for the function, and if it doesn't find it, it scans the PATH variable for the tool.
