argh! the mingw port of make ignores when i try to set SHELL or COMSPEC
to point to a substitute shell. it doesn't matter if i try to set the
environment variables in the makefile or if i set them in the shell. i
am starting to get pissed off at this weird and undocumented behaviour
in make. i found out today that djgpp make avoids using command.com as
subshell whenever it can, that means when calling programs from make,
make calls the program directly without doing so from a subshell. it
could be that mingw make has adopted the same behaviour...
if this is true then runner is not needed on the mingw and visual c
builds as long as one uses mingw make. does anyone have visual c so that
they can test if the assumption is correct? i must know...
