A simple way to DTRT on Windows is to invoke "build_w32.bat gcc".  I
don't see why go through the trouble of preparing yet another script
to bootstrap Make on Windows, especially since build_w32.bat doesn't
require any non-standard utility except what is required to compile
and link C programs, not even a Unixy shell.
