No, it is a missing feature. The makefiles generated for Windows contain 
backslashes instead of slashes. Unix shells interpret those as escape 
sequences instead of directory delimiters. sh.exe is a windows port of a 
Unix shell. Guess what happened!

Solution: call qmake and make in cmd.exe. Yes, it is a really shitty excuse 
for a shell, but it works well enough for this.
