[Mingw-users] make not honoring "export" directive

[Angus M. <am...@gu...>]

it seems that the MinGW version of gnu make doesn't honor the "export"
directive, is there any reason for this?

== example ==
export PATH := /thisisatest:$(PATH)
all :
	echo $$PATH
== ~example ==

it isn't just PATH either, but that is the one I care about.

cheers, Angus.
