nmake is awfully primitive in itself compared to GNU make, and it is 
doubly crippled by being restricted to cmd.exe syntax for shell commands 
in the targets.

Instead, Abhijit, I suggest that you switch to CMake or SCons, either of 
which will let you build software in a platform-independent way.

And to keep a tenuous hold on topicality, both are packaged for Cygwin.
