TEST_FILES in makefiles/root.in has forward slashes. During creation of the Makefile these get somewhere converted to backslashes. This conversion isn't needed (or wrong for MingW), if these files are part of a perl commandline (or not at all for MingW).
But I actually don't know, where the conversion happens, sorry. leo
