i'm afraid quoting the text won't work on older versions of DOS. so this
will be a lot more tricky to fix. one could use the BASH shell or add a
workaround for win me dos prompt. ifdef UGLY_WIN_ME_FIXES (....) endif

but even better... what happens if you replace the whole line:
echo /* Generated by makefile.tst */ > $(ASMCAPA_DIR_D)\asmcapa.h
with:
ifdef UNIX_TOOLS
    -rm -f $(ASMCAPA_DIR_U)/asmcapa.h
else
    -del $(ASMCAPA_DIR_D)\asmcapa.h
endif

i hope DOS is smart enough to threat >> as create the file if it doesn't
exist or else append to what's there already.

this should already be fixed. thanks for bugreport.
