MSDEV use its internal nmake which differ from nmake.exe in some points. So
a makefile generated by MSDEV don't always works with nmake.exe ... (in
particular with c++)

Show them that MSDEV store the letter of the drive in the project space,
thus a file which is on a disk on the network mounted as drive K: must
always be on drive K:
It is stupid.
cl.exe and nmake.exe accept network drive as \\host\foo\bar ... so there are
not problems with makefiles "hand-made".
