I found and used the MSYS generator, and after adding msys/bin to PATH, it
worked as I expected. I also found that with the MinGW generator, it worked
properly by running 'mingw32-make' rather than just 'make'. I am still
confused as to why it didn't complain that 'make' was not found (no such
file, etc), but these two methods seem to work:

If anyone can comment about this lingering question, verify that these two
techniques are reasonable, or explain the difference between the two, that
would be great :)
