Make SHELL variable


I notice that when make executes a command it actually does a
	$(SHELL) -c command

This appears to be a GNU make thing since it happens on our standard
UNIX platforms as well.  I wasn't able to find any documentation that
admitted that this -c was added or how to get rid of it.  I really would
like to be able to use cmd.exe as the SHELL but the -c gets in the way.
