Make and VC++ compiler problems

[rich-paul@rich-paul.net]

I disagree with the statement that if you're using VC++, you
should use nmake.  There is no reason that a garbage compiler
should imply a garbage make environment.  Perhaps a better way to
phrase it is "Know the tools you're using".  My project uses VC++
in a cygwin environment quite nicely, although we're working
toward porting to mingw.

Anyway, the makefile can also be changed to use cp, that's what
I'd do, for portability.
