Details:

I've been successfully using a pristine build of make 4.0 on windows to build
Firefox for a few weeks now, after avoiding the sh.exe issues by using single
quotes instead of double quotes, but we unfortunately have some other nasty
makefiles that are *very* hard to fixup this way without spending a huge
amount of time rewriting it, and i would very much like to be able to just
make that one makefile use a pristine build of make 4.0 as if it were built
with BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL defined.

The attached patch allows us to special-case that specific Makefile.
