Perl will accept both forward and backward slashes on Win32, and the harness does do the globbing. My patch only deals with the fact that make is treating "\*" as an escaped asterisk, and unescaping it to just "*". I add an additional backslash, thus escaping the backslash instead of the asterisk. Make translates "\\*" to "\*" and all is well.
