The last time when I was using it make_gnu.bat was working for me.
There is only one problem caused by "feature" in Windows port of
GNU make. If you have *sh.exe in the PATH then it will be used instead
of command.com/cmd.exe and we cannot detect it in our make system.
But I was using make_gnu.bat only when I did not have any *nix like
shell installed so it was not real problem for me and make_gnu.bat
was working out of the box without any hacks. It's also possible
to use it with *sh.exe in the PATH but in such case we have to
inform manually make system that such file exists, by simple:
   set SHLVL=1
before calling GNU make.
Probably using wildcard function and decoding PATH we can try to
hardcode such auto detection ourselves. I can try to add it.
