Actually, now that I looked at it, it was really my fault. It still cd'd to 
the spamd dir but tried to build spamd/utils.c etc then. Ooops, must have 
copied those strings from the wrong place. I corrected that.

I can't replace the forward- with a backslash in the target name because 
then the top Makefile wouldn't find spamd/spamc.exe anymore. And as nmake 
doesn't have problems with the top Makefile I assume it can cope with 
forward slashes.

Btw, does nmake support a switch -C which changes in the given directory 
before it executes the Makefile?

Cheers,
Malte
