One more note here: Latter can also cause problems, f.e. for Borland,
which has its own make.exe, you have to make sure to setup your
compilers into the PATH in proper order, or always explicitly add
GNU make.exe to your path, instead of putting it into the default dir.
Maybe I'll do that locally to have a clear situation.
