That was when testing different paths in the Makefile.global. Apparenlty 
a make never does a $(dir xxx) on those paths.

I do have a workaround in place that makes it work for me now. I do 
$(dir $(subst \\,/,xxx)) and that works fine but given that the targeted 
platform for pgxs on Win32 is MinGW, perhaps it should output forward 
slashes anyway. Hmm, then again, perhaps only PL/Java does a $(dir xxx) 
on the output.
