Yes, you'right. I use MSYS, but it works so smoothly that I
keep forgetting it is still Windows. Anyway, it is possible
to patch that code so that it also works when using cmd.exe
or command.com. I'm gonna do that soon.

BTW, what about a read-only variable reporting if the shell
is unixy? One could then write, e.g.

   $(if $(NOT_UNIX),if exist *.obj del *.obj,rm -f *.obj)
