Actually no, MinGW make is not working for what used to work with cygwin
make.   It has a nasty habit of changing cl's command line arguments
like /GZ into c:/msys/1.0/GZ.   If there is a sh.exe in the PATH.  So,
I can get things to work, but you have to run from a MS Command prompt,
and not from a cygwin shell, or an msys shell.   It kind of sucks.
