114	Win32 build failure due to incorrect `make` detection	bjoern	coke	"Trying to build parrot on a Win32 system with both Visual Studio.NET 2003 and MinGW installed fails for me (both mingw32-make and nmake are in the path)

Stop.

Presumably this is caused by unescaped backslashes in the Perl path. I had to manually `set MAKE=nmake` to make it build. Parrot should not use `mingw32-make` when using the Visual C++ compiler."	bug	closed	normal		build		medium	fixed					win32
