I have tested it and it works for me.   William Sheehan 
has also tested it.   Can a few more folks give the patch a try?

Here is the link to the most recent patch:

http://www.mail-archive.com/make-w32@gnu.org/msg01157.html

Just get the source for make-3.81 and apply the above patch.
You can get make from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/
You will need to rerun autoconf/automake after the patch,
as the patch does not include the configure script.  Once
you build it, run make check to verify that the build is working.
Also, please try with any makefiles that you have and need to work
with windows paths. 

Thanks.

-Bill
