Looks like win32fe isn't passing in @cmdfile option.

BTW: one issue with @file option - If I remember correctly: there is
some length limit to options listed here. [It prefers options split
across multiple lines - rather than a single big line]. But perhaps
gnumake's support of this feature takes care of that problem.
