One problem that I can think of is if people have a sh.exe on their
$PATH.  Since the Makefile says SHELL=/bin/sh, the port of Make 3.75
will call the shell if it finds it on the PATH, and I guess that DJ
haven't tested the source distribution for this case.

A work-around would be to temporarily rename sh.exe or remove it from
the PATH.  Another possibility is to set MAKESHELL=c:/dos/command.com
(or whatever your path to DOS is).
