#600 Broken Parameter Handling for Makensisw.exe v.2.3

[Flizebogen]

Since NSIS 2.25 the shipped Makensisw.exe (v.2.3) differs in parameter handling.

In previous Versions all parameters were passed to makensis.exe. In v.2.3 all Parameters are treated as Scriptnames. This makes the following call impossible:

"start ..\..\NSISCompiler\makensisw.exe /DSOME_DEFINE scriptfile.nsi"

This call results in this message:

Can't open script "/DSOME_DEFINE"

I tested the nightly build "nsis-16-Apr-2007.cvs" and the parameter handling works as expected but if i want to close the windows by clicking "Esc" makensisw.exe crashes.

In the latest snapshot (nsis-18-Apr-2007.cvs) the crash on exiting is gone but the parameter handling is broken again.
