        Slipping into the thread...

        Now do you have a compatible make utility for Windows? Without having
to install a whole UNIX clone environment.

        Neither the M$ Visual Studio Visual C nmake nor GNAT Ada gnatmake like
the Makefile (nmake complains about a $ in macro, gnatmake objects to #
comment lines and _xxx names)

There isn't one in the djangobook repository, but there is a Sphinx make.bat file in the Django repository, and it's fairly generic. I haven't tried this, but you'll probably find that the make.bat file in django/docs can be used, or can be used with some very minor modifications.
