There is no sh.exe in my path, so I think it would have used cmd.exe. 
Perhaps mingw32-make converted the path before passing to cmd.exe? But

Then wouldn't it be better to build DOC after temacs? Otherwise we lag 
behind by one build, since temacs does not get modified until after the 
DOC file is generated.
