awesome - thanks.

Well, I guess this will not be the first time I fall into well known pits ;-)

You may want to elaborate the 'WARNING' message in your readme,
or may be add URL for make-3.80-1. 
As you wish.

Thanks.

I encountered this 'cygwin' make-3.81 problem ;-)

Current 'make' does not support the dos filenames anymore, 
therefor the error message 'multiple target' appears ..

I have found this 'workaround', downgrade make-3.81 to 3.80, see below.

I am not aware of a beauty workaround here,
since 'cygpath' and other shell 'helpers' would force to change the makefiles.

As far as I remember .. 
I used different PATH environment variables for win32/cygwin compilations,
where native win32 tools were involved, e.g. MSVC++.
One for UNIX'ish tools, derived from the DOS'ish one, e.g:
	PATH_LALA1_UNIX=$(shell cygpath $(PATH_LALA1_DOS))


You may want to add this to:

Cheers, Sven
