As requested by Eli, I am posting the problems I am having with mingw-make
from a cygwin command line.
I narrowed down the major problem with mingw make and my makefiles.
Looks like a process launching issue. If the files are double quoted
and passed to a full path command it passes both files as one argument
to the process. I ran make -d and post the CreateProcess calls being
made. This is running mingw-make from a cygwin prompt.
