Yes, tried that, the result always is

    '-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.

Something is messing with the argument list.

No difference between these two there:

    SHELL=cmd.exe /C
    SHELL:=/cygdrive/c/windows/system32/cmd.exe -- /C

Looks like that might be on the right track, but how do I get arguments 
across verbatim?

Thanks,

Volker
