This time limit the number of files per command to avoid exceeding limitations of certain OS/shell envs. Such known env is Windows with the `cmd.exe` shell, which features an 8K limit to this day. Allowlisting `UNIX` to have no limit and using a limit of 200 for other envs to be safe. If there is a way to detect `cmd.exe` and/or we know which precise envs are sensitive to this, we can tweak these conditions further. Even with the low limit, this patch reduces external commands by 200x, making builds much faster. Ref: curl#13047 Ref: curl#12762 2620aa9 Closes #xxxxx

Does this still work correctly if you update a single |
|
It does, yes. Confirmed with a macOS and a Windows cross-build. In the latter, it rebuilds a batch of 200 files in which the modified one is present, on macOS, it rebuilds all. It's instantaneous, even on an ancient machine. |

I tried this change out in a Windows 10 VM by building with cmake mingw makefiles and the difference compared to the parent commit is significant. It cut build time by 50 seconds.
