Progress on Windows

Ok, I have figured out how to get date the Makefile in Windows, using powershell and a powershell script. The script is simple

get-date -UFormat '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

yes, that is all. From the Makefile, I run it as

powershell -File .\ScriptDate.ps1

the Makefile fragment looks like this

DATE := $(shell powershell -File .\ScriptDate.ps1)

very satisfying to finally figure this out.

The problem with extra dashes ('-') still exists, the only improvement I have managed is to remove the dash in front.
