Indeed.  Thinking it through, as I am specifically wanting gcc-4.5.0 in
order to experiment with its implemented C++0x features, I am hardcoding
CC=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-4.5.0 into the makefile anyway, so it's probably a 
reasonable workaround for the moment to add a `run' target along the
lines of: 

   run: $(OUT)
	@export PATH=/opt/gcc-4.5.0/bin:`printenv PATH` && $<
