Summary0010491: mingw32-make vs. gmake
DescriptionHi,

I would like to ask if it would have been possible for "MinGW Makefiles" generator not to expect only mingw32-make.exe but also accept gmake.exe.

Especially people running 64bit gcc on MS Windows (provided by mingw-w64.sf.net project) are very likely to use 64bit version of GNU make for MS Windows that is on the other hand unlikely named mingw32-make.exe but rather simply gmake.exe.

Thanks.

Trouble is if you pick up cygwin gmake or any other gmake it totally breaks...
