I use our very own patched make 3.82 on Cygwin...

Nah, that is needed because the compiler and other native Windows
tools don't understand Cygwin paths.

Anything that can make the makefiles simpler is worth a try....

I tried reverting 386161779b55755f145106cd53c5df80967e1c3b and indeed
now I see no problem. If I remove the workdir/wntmsci12*/bootstrap
file, dmake gets rebuilt just fine. Hmm. I don't remember what problem
it was I saw when I did 386161779b55755f145106cd53c5df80967e1c3b.
Maybe it indeed can be reverted. Maybe something else has changed that
now makes it unnecessary.
