Details:

When using a MSVC-built make 4.0 with some autoconf/automake-driven projects
with a bash shell, some commands retrieved during configure are set with a
full unixy path, like /usr/bin/install.

In such cases, the command fails in make because CreateProcess fails.

One way to look at it is that if the command line begins with a forward slash,
it's likely to be a unixy path, and it should thus be treated by the shell
instead of CreateProcess.
