No installer. RubenVB's latest build for x64. But the problem isn't mingw,
it is that the windows cmd line interprets this: `wbld/translate.exe` as a
call to `wbld` with parameter `/translate.exe`. There is no problem with
forward slashes in the parameters of a command, just in the command itself.
There used to be 4 lines that substituted a double forward slash for all
backslashes in the 4 command macros (TRANSLATE, VERSION, MAKEHEADERS,
MAKEINDEX), which don't do the substitution anymore.

While I am at it, there is a comment in the makefile about not being able
to use del and copy, and therefore using rm and cp. I used del and copy
insted of them and it worked fine, so I don't know what the comment is
referring to.

I am using win7 x64, plain old `cmd`.
