I have a question in regards to this. I'm building with mingw. Now, I 
can run my application in msys or in the cmd window. I was assumming
that if my application is running in msys that I would want to use the :
separator and if it was running in the cmd window I'd want to use the ;
separator. Is this incorrect?

This is the reason I was parsing the target name.
