 ## ruleset evaluated by Make.  This allows us to automatically generate
 ## similar rules for long lists of targets.
 
+## Note: in some of the rules that follow it is important to add
+## $(INCLUDES) last, because on raw mingw (using the DOS shell) the
+## backslash in "-I.\" seems to be interpreted as a line-terminator.
+## This may be caused by cmd.exe-stupidness or a bug in mingw32-make
