I remember we have discussed this. We concluded that it wasn't very nice 
from cygwin-make maintainer to drop support for WIN32 paths. I supposed 
that the feature will be brought back in the future versions of make, 
because I saw some patches floating around.
But, yes, the right way to do it is using "cygpath". I was just to lazy 
to do it by myself.

It is cygwin specific.

Note that make-3.80 work just fine!
