Build problem (Windows, b24)

[Ted Neward]

Something strange is going on. When I build from the top-level directory, it
fails to build java/hpi. When I build just one level down, using Kelly's
"make all ..." syntax below, it builds fine. Hate to say it, but I think
this may be a bug in the Makefiles, though I'm not sure where or why...?
