I have searched the thread "Re: 3.81 and windows paths" on 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-07/msg00023.htmland.
I was unable to find the suggestion.   Could you please point me to
the suggestion.   The suggestion seems to be use mingw make and
not cygwin make.  However, I get the feeling that you are hinting at
some other suggestion.  If you have a link into the list where the
suggestion is, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

-Bill
