README.Mingw not quite right

[Stephen Brandon]

I just re-read gnustep-make/Documentation/README.MinGW and
saw what I thought might be the answer to my questions:

/***********************************/
export GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=//c/mingw/GNUstep/System

I also install a special script in the file
~/GNUstep/GNUstep.sh with the
lines:

if [ $GNUSTEP_HOST_OS = "mingw32" ]; then
  GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT=`cygpath -w $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT | tr
'\\\' '/'`
fi
/************************************/

Unfortunately this does not work either. It simply changes
the forward slashes to back slashes, then back to forward
ones again with 'tr'. The resulting paths don't work for
MinGW or Cygwin.

:-(
