* job.c (start_job_command) [WINDOWS32]: Make the same fix for
MS-Windows as the previous commit did for Posix platforms.
+ (construct_command_argv_internal): Don't treat a backslash as an
+ escape character before whitespace, if the shell is not a Posix
+ shell. For the description of the problem, see
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-w32/2013-04/msg00014.html.
