I believe the quote character for Windows CMD shell is ^.

I doubt that \$ will help: that's not how Windows shells quote special
characters.  Quotes "" might help, except that the example already uses
them...

I vaguely recall that the WINDOWS32 port of Make uses batch files to run
commands in some cases, so perhaps the way to solve this would be to force
Make not to go the batch-file way.
