The Makefiles aren't working for W2K.

First, Lazarus needs updated Makefile.fpc to support the latest fpcmake. This will create
Makefiles that also work under full cygwin environment.

Second you need to get the updated makew32 available from the
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/dist/win32-1.0.6/separate/makew32.zip

Then the makefiles will work under command.com prompt under W2K. For the cmd.exe prompt we
still need to test things and fix make.exe
