Attachment: patch [Checkin: Comment 2]

Bug 707512 STR (bug 643167 is probably just nice to have, didn't check):
1. put an MSYS-style path in your .mozconfig, e.g.:
   mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/e/mozilla-src/seamonkey-central
2. run pymake (python -OO mozilla/build/pymake/make.py -f client.mk)

Without this patch, configure runs through to the end (multiple times), then exits with:

make.py[1]: Leaving directory 'e:\mozilla-src\comm-central'
No rule to make target '/e/mozilla-src/seamonkey-central/config.status' needed by ['<default-target>', '/e/mozilla-src/seamonkey-central/config.status']

With the patch, configure exits directly with:

make.py[0]: Entering directory 'e:\mozilla-src\comm-central'
e:\mozilla-src\comm-central\client.mk:150:2:For Windows Pymake builds, MOZ_OBJDIR must be a Windows [and not MSYS] style path.
