There were the scripts posted by multiple people (including CGF and me)
for converting MS-DOS paths to POSIX paths.  Also, if you are generating
Makefiles that are targeted for Cygwin make, you can use "cygpath" with
impunity.  Alternatively, target the MinGW version of make (as was already
suggested by others).
