[PATCH 1/7] Windows: Add workaround for MSYS' path conversion

[Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>]

MSYS' automatic path conversion causes problems when passing paths as
defines ('-D' arguments to the compiler).  MSYS tries to be smart and
converts absolute paths to native Windows paths, e.g. if MSYS sees
"/bin" it converts it to "c:/msysgit/bin".  But we want completely
unmodified paths; e.g. if we set bindir in the Makefile to "/bin", the
define BINDIR shall expand to "/bin".  Conversion to absolute Windows
path will takes place later, during runtime.

This commit adds a workaround by replacing "/" with its octal
representation "\057", effectively hiding the path from MSYS' path
conversion mechanism.  MSYS does no longer see the absolute path and
therefore leaves it alone.
