If you guys can come up with a patch everyone seems to agree on, I'll
apply it.  I don't even own a Windows system, much less one that can
compile GNU make, so I'm completely at the mercy of the porting folks
for Windows-only issues.  I generally don't apply patches unless there
is a clear and firm consensus and agreement from one or more of the
"longstanding" Windows hackers.

I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting we apply: Eli's last
patches, here:
        http://www.mail-archive.com/make-w32%40gnu.org/msg01586.html

and here:
        http://www.mail-archive.com/make-w32%40gnu.org/msg01585.html

I can do it tonight if there is agreement on what to apply...
