Nor am I , cmd.com batch language is horrible (deceptive as well , reading 
existing batch files is easy , but just try doing anything non trivial), I 
tried doing a make bench equivalent , but after 4 hours of hell I gave up , 
the parser/lexer changes for each different command ie a echo in a for loop 
is parsed differently from an echo not in a for loop . I refuse to do 
anything more in dos batch files :)

I dont know how to do a relative path shortcut , I think its a paid for 
extra in Windows !!!

Readme.msvc is missing from the patch
paricfgmsvc.h.SH  looks like it has been "doubled up"
make.bat has had the Dos lf/cr stripped ( this can cause problems in that 
the batch interpreter only updates enviromental varibles in each "newline"

passes make,make check  with and without gmp
