??? I'm confused: when cmd.exe is the shell, the `echo' command
behaves _exactly_ like cmd's built-in `echo'. In particular, if you
type "echo" from the cmd command line, you will see exactly the same
result ("echo is On") as what you see when the same command is run
from a Makefile. So GNU Make does, in fact, support the stock Windows
shell, in that it runs shell commands as they are defined by the shell
you are using.
What am I missing?
