tee is certainly useful...I use it all the time in the unix world.
I've even set some options in Vim (I can't recall which) so that
(using tee) a build log is created automatically when I :make in
addition to seeing the output in Vim. But, my point is that it is not
necessary for the functionality of :make on Windows, and without a
more specific question specifying exactly what is needed, the OP seem
to be going down the wrong path.
