The msys shell is very smart, it replaces everything that looks
like a unix path to a windows path. This means thet the commandline
flag to gcc get mangled. So for example:
-DGNUSTEP_INSTALL_PREFIX=/e/GNUstep
will change to
-DGNUSTEP_INSTALL_PREFIX=e:\GNUstep
This will lead in the compilation of NSUser.m to the following problems:
A - a warning that it does not understand \G in strings.
B - a wrong predefined path.
This in turn will prevent GNUstep from finding some charset data etc.

* GNUmakefile (GNUSTEP_TARGET_INSTALL_PREFIX)
(GNUSTEP_TARGET_LOCAL_ROOT, GNUSTEP_TARGET_NETWORK_ROOT): on mingw32 replace
/ with \\057. This to avoid the msys shell of translating / with \.
