The only difference is that it uses CMD.EXE or > COMMAND.COM instead of sh, right? Why would anyone want to do that?

Some of these packages actually have GNU Makefiles that are intended to use the native Windows "shell". ------_=_NextPart_000_01BFD249.93749580 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
