[PATCH] escape / to avoid problems with msys (mingw)

[Wim Oudshoorn]

The msys shell is very smart, it replaces everything that looks
like a unix path to a windows path.  This means thet the commandline
flag to gcc get mangled.  So for example:

-DGNUSTEP_INSTALL_PREFIX=/e/GNUstep 

will change to

-DGNUSTEP_INSTALL_PREFIX=e:\GNUstep

This will lead in the compilation of NSUser.m to the following problems:
 
A - a warning that it does not understand \G in strings.
B - a wrong predefined path.  

This in turn will prevent GNUstep from finding some charset data etc.

        * GNUmakefile (GNUSTEP_TARGET_INSTALL_PREFIX) 
        (GNUSTEP_TARGET_LOCAL_ROOT, GNUSTEP_TARGET_NETWORK_ROOT): on mingw32 
replace
        / with \\057.  This to avoid the msys shell of translating / with \.
