Ok, I have attatched the files from general3, test 4 which failed

These wwere either the "echo" bug ("/c:/" instead of "c:/" generated),

or the:

"c:/msys/1.0/home/" vs. "/home/" style paths at the begining of the output.


See example echo_var_MSYS_bug.mak  attatched. (output included)


broken_MSYS_echo_path.mak is also attatched, this is another problem I 
noticed.

Hmm, what don't you know about them specifically..? Why they are failing
etc? I will email you the 41KB zip of my make/tests/work directory. (If 
anyone else would like this zip please email me)

Ok, I don't know where the code is to disable tests, would you be able
to add this to the disabled list please...

Could you disable the symlink tests as well please?  When these changes
are all in I will update my code and run the tests again.

Kind regards
