Well, if it is, it seems not to be in the PATH (somewhat surprising,
since the rest of MSYS or similar appears to be so).  Maybe we should
check for it before actually checking for its details?

The first line output by Meng Lu's run of configure was

    checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no

and that is sort of embarrassing if there is no actual copy of "make"
around.
