OK to apply > the patch at the end to document this? I have a question in regards to this. I'm building with mingw. Now, I can run my application in msys or in the cmd window. I was assumming that if my application is running in msys that I would want to use the : separator and if it was running in the cmd window I'd want to use the ; separator. Is this incorrect? This is the reason I was parsing the target name.
