Subject:	Thanks! - help on GNU Make/MS C++

Thanks to everyone who responded.  The problem was indeed that the single
backslash (\) character was being treated as an escape by GNU Make, and
so wasn't getting passed on to the MS C++ compiler.  Double-backslashing
the appropriate places fixed the problem.

'Course, GCC thinks that object files are called '.o', whereas the
default in the DOS world seems to be '.obj'....  :-)

Anyway, thanks again.  It's a lot easier to get multi-directory make
procedures working with GNU Make than it is with NMAKE - 'vpath' is your
friend, in a big way!
