Things can be wonky from a vanilla windows command prompt, which is

Of course, it would be silly to require MSYS or Cygwin to build on
Windows, but there's always CMake. A number of open source projects
use it these days. Ship a configuration file with the source, then
the user can generate Makefiles for a number of compilers and
platforms.
I haven't used it recently, but GnuWin32
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/) provides good ports of *nix apps
without the need for MSYS or Cygwin.
I can second that.
Is is possible from a licensing standpoint to just distribute a copy of
gmake built by gnuwin?
