To run the test!

harness is the executable (harness.exe on Windows). On Unix systems it's
normal not to include the current directory in the path; so to run the
program you have to say where it is, ".", and the directory separator is
a plain slash, not that nasty backslash.

On Windows you probably just need to say "harness -v".
