I though of this solution, but it does not indicate us if the file is
not found, and neither v:shell_error nor :copen are of any help [1]. And
even more important:
    let &makeprg=3D'AcroRd32 $*.pdf'  =20
    silent make foo
works, but=20
    let &makeprg=3D'start AcroRd32 $*.pdf'  =20
    silent make foo
does not.

AcroRd32 seems to receive an incorrect filename in the latter case.


[1] This issue is raised by:
    :let &mp=3D'start! cygstart incorrectpath/$*.html'
    :silent! make foo
    And by extension, if the file to view has not been generated yet,
    \lv would not even tell us there is nothing to view.
    Without =ABstart=BB, the error can be retrieved with :copen
--=20
