The Windows recipes for these macros were `printf "%s\n" $(1)`. The callers wrap content in single quotes (for the POSIX printf), but the test recipes run under `cmd.exe` on Windows, which keeps the single quotes literal and word-splits on spaces, and the bundled `printf` additionally mangles backslashes and spaces. The result is garbage generated files (e.g. a modulemap whose first line is `'module`, or a truncated SDK path from a "Program Files" directory).

Write the file with cmd's `echo` after stripping the callers' single quotes. `echo` runs in the recipe shell, so unlike GNU make's `$(file ...)` it still works after a preceding `MKDIR_P` in the same recipe.
