There are 2 ways of dealing with this problem that I know of:

	1) Use the `redir' program which comes with DJGPP v2.0.  It can 
redirect output, so you don't have to use command.com (which only 
understands backslashes).

	2) Use the GNU Make's subst/patsubst functions to convert forward 
slashes to backward ones, when you write the commands which need redirection.
