No, I think CreateProcess needs to run "echo C:/mingw/bin/sh.exe".
That is, it wants to run a command called "echo" and pass it the
string "C:/mingw/bin/sh.exe" as the only argument.  In other words,
the problem cannot possibly be the forward slashes in
"C:/mingw/bin/sh.exe", since it's just a string, as far as Make is
concerned.  The problem is that Make cannot find "echo".
