It's a bit more Windows-like, though it's also pretty random whether a
developer has a shell installed as well as the MinGW downloads include make
only (perversely not called make.exe).
One of the most insidious things that GNU make does on Windows is creating a
temporary batch file if there's no sh-like shell on PATH. So you need to
consider cmd.exe quoting rules, make quoting rules and the quoting rules of
the tool you're invoking.
We're currently building GNU make for Windows, quoting spaces with
backslashes in dependency files, quoting all path arguments (-I, etc.) on
the command-line with spaces and removing the backslash from drive arguments
(so that we get "-IH:" rather than "-IH:\"). Unsurprisingly, we want to take
make outside and shoot it for our next major release.
