I think Make 3.75 already supports colons in pathnames. There should be WIN32- and DOS-specific code in Make that allows using `:' without any escape characters. Can you post a short Makefile which exhibits the problems you are trying to solve and see why doesn't it work with the released version of Make 3.75? What compiler did you use to build Make? - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
