Hi Johan,

I took a quick look at source code for make 3.79.1-5.

It looks to me like vpath.c (build_vpath_lists) does conversion of Win32 
paths to posix ones for the VPATH variable but not for vpath.
Not being a software programmer I'm not in a position to provide a 
patch, but maybe someone else could ?

Colm A
