Should GNU make 3.81 be required?

I only mentioned the sum because the one Kelly was suggesting was 
probably the same one I got from cmake.  I wasn't suggesting that you 
should be testing for that particular version.

I would hope you can just create a simple check to see if the drive 
letter logic is on, possibly using cygpath.
