oh, and while I have a chance to speak to you: Make incorrectly assumes 
that batch files are always made executable by the default ACL, and this 
digs a huge hole (namely, the whole %TEMP% folder) in my experiment for 
tighter file security on Windows. I'm aware that this is very niche, but I 
just thought you'd like to know that Make isn't much smarter than Outlook 
Express when it comes to executable files: the same default file 
permissions that made Outlook Express a security hole [1] make Make work. 
But those default file permissions are stupid, and Make requiring them to 
work properly is one of the many ways goodwilling people are being locked 
into stupidity

[1] plus other questionable practices I won't mention here
