Summary:  Problems getting make to search a VPATH under MS Windows

Original Submission:  I have hit a snag which is causing me untold grief, and I 
was hoping someone can help!

I am converting an old Clipper app of considerable size to run on Linux, using 
a product called FlagShip. There is a mass of files containing code common to 
all modules of the system, and  under Linux, make will re compile these as 
necessary provided the common VPATH is included in the Makefile.

FlagShip for Windows has recently been released and attempting to recompile for 
windows, I ran into a problem using make - Common files are simply not 
compiled, regardless of VPATH setting: I have tried 

VPATH = C:Common  
VPATH = C:/Common
VPATH = C:\Common
VPATH = Common
VPATH = /Common

All to no avail! Any ideas ??? I include a sample Makefile
