Follow-up Comment #3, bug #56449 (project make):

I wasn't thinking about % as an escape character so much as a variable
introduction character.

But I keep forgetting that variable expansion in Windows works very
differently than in POSIX.

I was assuming that:


all: ; argv1 %Path%


would need to use command.com to ensure that %Path% was expanded.  But maybe
that's not correct on Windows.
