But that's my problem -- Win XP appears to be case sensitive, at 
least sometimes.

For instance, under Win 98 I had a makefile called MAKEFILE. make 
found it with no trouble, though it was looking for makefile (lower 
case). 

But under Win XP, if I did
    make /f makefile
the makefile as not found, but if I did
    make /f MAKEFILE
it was found. I ended up doing
    ren MAKEFILE makefile
and then a simple
    make again found the makefile.
