Bug description

Hi,
The makefiles for windows are slightly broken.
I'm using a windows2000 system, with Visual Studio 6.0,
and the latest cygwin distribtion. I'm trying to compile
the OCaml distribution from the sources.

Following the steps in the manual I do:

1. in config : cp s-nt.h s.h
   cp m-nt.h m.h
   cp Makefile.nt Makefile

I now go the top-level directory and do:
nmake -f Makefile.nt

After compiling the byterun system, the following lines breaks
down:
cl /nologo /Ox /MT /MT -o ocamlrun.exe prims.obj libcamlrun.lib
wsock32.lib

    if not exist ..\stdlib\caml mkdir ..\stdlib\caml
    cp mlvalues.h alloc.h misc.h callback.h fail.h custom.h

..\stdlib\caml
sed -e "/#include ./m.h/r ..\config\m.h"
-e "/#include ./s.h/r ..\config\s.h"
-e "/#include /d" config.h > ..\stdlib\caml\config.h
sed -e "/#include .*gc.h/d" -e "/#define Alloc_small/,/^}/d"
-e "/Modify/,/^}/d" memory.h > ..\stdlib\caml\memory.h

    cp byterun\libcamlrun.lib stdlib\libcamlrun.lib

    boot\ocamlrun boot\ocamlc -I boot -I utils -I parsing 
                              -I typing -I bytecomp -I asmcomp -I

driver
-I toplevel -c utils/misc.mli
'boot\ocamlrun' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'boot\ocamlrun' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

Can you fix it?

Thanks,
Ohad.
