I didn't write that makefile, and that makefile is just a pile of awful things, not to say worse, and it does rely on the paths using backslashes for many different reasons. I tried switching to forward slashes, but many pieces broke as a result. The fact that I can get that makefile to work with batch shell mode is kind of a deliverance: i don't have to touch that pile of garbage.
