[h-e-w] MinGW shell under Emacs and then running Ant

[Kai Grossjohann]

When I try to run Ant under the MinGW sh.exe, then I get an error
that the class definition couldn't be found.  (I don't remember which
class definition, the problem happens @work but I read news @home.)

"echo $CLASSPATH" shows c:/foo;d:/bar style entries.  I tried to
change it to c:\foo;d:\bar and also c:\\foo;d:\\bar, to no avail.
Same problem.  (I didn't try /c/foo:/d/bar, though.)

(Ant is not a MinGW program, I just use the Windows stuff that comes
with Ant.)
