Unfortunately it didn't fix the double colon problem -- after applying the
patch to make 3.79 (from www.gnu.org), I still get the error below for the
following Makefile:

c:/javabld/foo: c:/javabld/bar
	echo yo

$ ./make-3.79/make.exe  -f Makefile.ef
Makefile.ef:1: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
