Re: [pooma-dev] Re: [PATCH] Shorten filenames during build/link

Richard:
AFAIK, the only way to use a gmake makefile with Windows is to either 
use MinGW/MSys or Cygwin. Since these emulate a unix environment, the 
changes should work fine. I don't believe our make stuff will work with 
a make other than gmake. So go ahead and commit it as far as I am 
concerned. I use CodeWarrior on both Macs and PCs so there are no 
makefiles. MinGW/MSys is switching over to GCC v3.4 right now and they 
have had some performance issues on just simple C++. So I will be 
sticking with CodeWarrior until these details get worked out. At that 
point I will probably try to compare v3.4 on WIndows with the 
CodeWarrior executable.
