Hi, there's a silly question: how to disable the path conversion
in makeBaseApp?

I'm using EPICS under MinGW+MSYS. The "sh" can recognize
the DOS path, but somehow it fails in "make".

Yes, if I set a path using the DOS version, it just can't find
the executable files. I guess maybe the colon symbol is
used for some "special" case, so anything like C:\epics
will cause unexpected outcomes.

Here's the thing, the makeBaseApp.pl will use UnixPath,
LocalPath, I don't know, to convert the path and write the
base's path to RELEASE, and I always get like
EPICS_BASE=D:\EPICS\base
even I use "-b \epics\base" option. One thing lead to another,
perl could not be found during the make.

So, can I use some magic option to make it?
