There is nothing intrinsically wrong with nmake. It makes no sense
to me that someone would use what is apparently an nmake file with
cygwin's make. If something is working why not use it.

And then the next question is "I'm getting an error about DEL."
And after that it will be "I'm getting an error about DIR."
If you want to take the time to meticulously go through the makefile and
change every single MS-DOSism, then sure, go ahead. I just don't see
the benefit.
