Sort of apropos: it is possible to call nmake against a Windows Makefile in
a Makefile that is processed by Gnu make, jusr like any other program.
However, MAKEFLAGS sometimes is set in the Gnu make. nmake also looks at
MAKEFLAGS and will fail if it doesn't like the contents. You can unset
MAKEFLAGS, or put the 'nmake /f Makefile.win in a .bat file, and call the
.bat from the Gnu make.

Don't even ask why I wound up doing this :)
