DOS ain't dead

Compiling Windows on DOS? (Developers)

As everyone knows, Windows 2003's source codes have been leaked. And I downloaded them. By using some tools, I found that its compiler doesn't import ntdll.dll. So, it's possible to compile Windows 2003 on Win9x, even on DOS by using HX. Then I started to try. But I encountered a problem. Many scripts for compilation use .cmd file extension and command.com doesn't recognize it as a batch file. Changing then to .bat extension one by one would be a disaster. (And you also have to replace .cmd in the scripts to .bat) So, my question is: How to let command.com run a .cmd file?
