solcjs doesn't appear to do anything on Windows

Either I’m doing something wrong (the usage instructions are unclear), or there’s a bug:

I just installed latest solcjs npm install -g solcjs on my Windows 10 machine, trying to compile a simple script.

Running

solcjs --bin Coin.sol thinks for a bit, and doesn’t actually do anything, where Coin.sol is the following file:

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

contract Coin {
    // The keyword "public" makes those variables
    // readable from outside.
    address public minter;
    mapping (address => uint) public balances;

    // Events allow light clients to react on
    // changes efficiently.
    event Sent(address from, address to, uint amount);

    // This is the constructor whose code is
    // run only when the contract is created.
    function Coin() {
        minter = msg.sender;
    }

    function mint(address receiver, uint amount) {
        if (msg.sender != minter) return;
        balances[receiver] += amount;
    }

    function send(address receiver, uint amount) {
        if (balances[msg.sender] < amount) return;
        balances[msg.sender] -= amount;
        balances[receiver] += amount;
        Sent(msg.sender, receiver, amount);
    }
}

solcjs version is 0.4.11+commit.68ef5810.Emscripten.clang

Sorry, solcjs actually writes a file and doesn’t show anything on screen. You should have a file Coin.sol:Coin.bin.

I believe it is indeed an invalid filename. It is odd that an error isn’t detected though.
