Thanks for the heads up.

On Cygwin, make-3.82 supports DOS paths by default.  I'm curious about 
what work might be involved in re-enabling the --ms-dos option, and I'd 
like to help, if I can.

I built my Cygwin make-3.82 packages directly from the upstream release 
tarball using the attached script.
