Strange behaviour of vpath with dos paths

- Subject: Strange behaviour of vpath with dos paths
Hi folks,
I am seeing strange behaviour when using dos paths in a gnu make vpath
directive.
The makefile I am using to test this funny is as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
vpath %.out c:/make_test/out
#vpath %.out /cygdrive/c/make_test/out
#VPATH = c:/make_test/out
#VPATH = /cygdrive/c/make_test/out
test.out : \
test.input\
; echo test.input > out/test.out
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What I find is that vpath doesn't work when given a dos path.
VPATH on the other hand does.
For out application we need to use a dos path.
The work around is for us to use VPATH but it seems a bit funny that
vpath and VPATH behave differently under given dos paths.
Has anyone any ideas about this ?
Cheers
Colm A
P.S. I am using gnu make 3.79.1-4 and 1.3.5-2 of the cygwin dll.
