Right now these variables are partially in moz.build and partially in Makefile.in.  This ticket tracks making them moz.build Path instances.

blassey sees issues with absolute paths in backend.mk files building
on Windows.  ted suggests that mozmake expects "Windows native paths",
like 'c:/foo/bar', where-as the existing build backends produce "msys
paths", like /c/foo/bar.

This was a stab at using AbsolutePath() to address this, but
AbsolutePath() doesn't currently do the right thing either.  Posting
this just to show where some of the work would happen and capture the
experiment.

Instead, I removed the relevant moz.build pieces in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1255924 and its precursors.
