AFAIK the first line won't matter to Windows, as it will always call it 
through the php.exe interpreter. And my guess is that php.exe will skip 
that commented line.

The suggestion to fix this is the "pending patch" in the core list:

Thread "RFC: Bug #5838: cli_dispatch.phpsh not working with windows" 
from 16.7.2007 and http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5838. See if the 
attached patch on that thread solves the issue on Windows (calling the 
script in Windows with a full path. If it does, please comment on that 
in the core list, so we might integrate at least that fix into core for 4.2.

Cheers,
