The only things in my path when I run make are:

Also, when I open a new shell window and type "where idgen.exe", it points to the one in the DMD folder. I'll try editing the makefile, however, and see if that works.

And of course that did fix it. Where in the world would it be finding another idgen.exe?

Never mind, there actually *is* another idgen in my path, even when it only includes the aforementioned locations. A rogue idgen.exe somehow snuck into the D:\dmd2\windows\bin folder, probably because the guide on the wiki suggests to do `copy *.exe <bin folder>`, and idgen gets copied along with a newly built DMD. It'll work fine the first time, but will fail all subsequent times. That's pretty evil, actually. That should be changed on the wiki, and maybe I'll make a PR for the makefile so it will use the local idgen.
