Are you sure? This page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/make/
claims that "make" _is_ included.
"rm" and "cp" are part of Coreutils, a single package that you need to
download from GnuWin32 (it may require a few DLLs that are used by
Coreutils).

The MSYS Make cannot not have this problem, because file-name
translation is at the core of MSYS operation. Without it, most of
MSYS's raison d'etre is gone.
