2. Replace /bin/make.exe with http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe .
The new version of make can't handle colons, so replace the new version with
an old make that can handle colons.
The binary of Make at that URL is not an old version, it's the same
latest version 3.81 of Make with a patch applied that makes it support
DOS-style file names with drive letters.
And once that version stabilizes, lo-and-behold, it will become the next
release of make on Cygwin. Who would've thought? ;-) fschmidt should
really be more thorough when researching the history of a previously
discussed issue before making bold proclamations about handling such
issues and the directions Cygwin should be heading in.
