make fails when quote marks are encountered

My version of 'make' is:

    c:\tmp$ make -v
    GNU Make 3.81
    Copyright (C) 2006  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

    PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

    This program built for i686-pc-mingw32

    c:\tmp$


I have no 'sh.exe' anywhere in my path. And my version of 'cmd' is:

    c:\tmp$ cmd
    Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
    (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.


I'm not greatly happy with developing under Windows because of problems
like this.  I tried building a copy of 'make' following the suggestion 
earlier but the batch file could not find 'cl.exe'.  I'm assuming that's
a linker.

I will try to install a native port of 'sh' to my machine and see what 
difference that will make.
