I do no think it's necessary because we DO build CERTI (refered before)
using Gnuwin32 flex/bison/m4 with Visual Studio 2003 without trouble.

May be you have setup a particular option of Visual which makes it
"forget" the PATH?

I did not face the Visual Studio vs Nmake behaviour discrepancy,
but I'm really  not an expert in this area.

Did you try your build on another machine equipped with Visual Studio 2003?
