It won't work on Windows, but for a different reason.
The fib2mrib mechanism is tied to the ability of the FEA to observe
third-party changes to the unicast forwarding table in the kernel.
Currently, the FEA doesn't support this for Windows. I am not even
sure whether the Windows API supports asynchronous notifications to
userland if the forwarding table is modified; Bruce M. Simpson would
be the right person to answer that question.

Yes, they should be a single line. Probaby it got corrupted in the
email.
