Hi,

Are there any known problems or caveats with having relative paths with ..\
in VPATH on Windows?

I'm getting some strange errors: I have a directory on the form
..\..\..\..\foo\bar on VPATH, where there are two .c files. make finds one,
but not the other, via VPATH, and make -d gives me no clues. The problem
happens every time and in different make versions, but I can only reproduce
it on Windows, and only with some makefiles (I have many makefiles on the
same form, where only the source file names differ). The problem disappears
if I use an absolute path in VPATH, but this will break if cwd contains
spaces.

This all happens inside a rather complex makefile jungle, so it might just
be a problem with my makefiles; I'm working on minimizing a test case.
