Everything which make is easier to use is good. But this batch file does very little right now, f.e. setup of those three envvars could be done inside the make files. Only -r seems to be meaningful, but maybe this could also be added to the make files. If this is so we should make it. I had to resort to this hack to make it work: make install -r SHELL=%COMSPEC%
It's was not always needed, maybe it's not needed now, overall I never use mingw without msys, because it's always a difficult task to make it work. For example, trying it now results in this: --- make -C common make[2]: Entering directory `C:/harbour/source/common' '[' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. --- With or without SHLVL or SHELL=. Using a mingw built make.exe.
