<DIV>Ha, another "Made by MS" great product. I'm dealing with such great

<DIV>I understand. You've been "Locked in" by MS. For me, I'd take this
opportunity to break away from the brain-damaged tool, and start using native
cygwin make, since you've already using it's touch. Changing the create time is
hard enough, comparing to the make file porting, who knows what is waiting for
you next. </DIV>

<DIV>Two very good points. Thanks for the suggestions. I have to
maintaining *nix and Windows environments, this would also avoid the time wasted
in constantly having to read two sets of documentation.</DIV>
