Looks like that might be part of it. There's now definitely more than one
'rmdir' floating around. I find that I can invoke the shell version of
'rmdir' by running:
system("rmdir /S /Q Math-MPFR-1.07\\t <nul");
and that works fine. But without the redirection I get the "other" crappy
rmdir which doesn't work.
I'm still a bit puzzled as to why the backslash is not being interpreted as
an escape.
Cheers,
Rob
