Does the attached patch solve this bug and doesn't introduce new ones?  Please also see if it doesn't cause Make to use a batch file where it shouldn't.

Hi,

when using cmd.exe as SHELL and MAKESHELL, make nowadays supports using a shortcut to not create a temporary .bat-file. This works great except under the following circumstances:
If an argument to a command is quoted and contains a wildcard, and a filename matches this wildcard then this argument is expanded. This behavior is different from the behavior on a unixy system or when a temporary batch-file is used.

This problem happens when the command is a cygwin command (and I'm using a mingw-built make). I don't think it happens when running a native windows command, but I'm not sure about this.

This problem seems to persist in 4.0 and 4.1.

I'm attaching a trivial example Makefile and script to reproduce this problem.

Cheers and thanks,
  Stefan.
