* README.W32.template: Update for job-server and Guile support.
* read.c (unescape_char): Advance 'p' after copying the unescaped
characters. Otherwise the backslashes are incorrectly erased from

This version of GNU make has been tested on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003.
This version of GNU make has been tested on
Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/2008.
It has also been used on Windows 95/98/NT, and on OS/2.
It builds with the MinGW port of GCC (tested with GCC 3.4.2).

It also builds with MSVC 2.x, 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 2003 as well as
with .NET 7.x and .NET 2003.
As of version 3.83, a build with Guile is supported (tested with Guile
2.0.3). To build with Guile, you will need, in addition to Guile
itself, its dependency libraries and the pkg-config program. The
latter is used to figure out which compilation and link switches and
libraries need to be mentioned on the compiler command lines to
correctly link with Guile. A Windows port of pkg-config can be found
on the Windows download page of the GTK+ project:
http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php
The libraries on which Guile depends can vary depending on your
version and build of Guile. At the very least, the Boehm's GC library
will be needed, and typically also GNU MP, libffi, libunistring, and
libtool's libltdl. Whoever built the port of Guile you have should
also provide you with these dependencies or a URL where to download
them.
The Windows 32-bit port of GNU make is maintained jointly by various
people. It was originally made by Rob Tulloh.

Support for parallel builds
Parallel builds (-jN) are supported in this port, with 2
limitations:
- The number of concurrent processes has a hard limit of 64,
due to the way this port implements waiting for its
subprocesses;
- The job server method (available when Make runs on Posix
platforms) is not supported, which means you must pass an
explicit -jN switch to sub-Make's in a recursive Makefile.
If a sub-Make does not receive an explicit -jN switch, it
will default to -j1, i.e. no parallelism in sub-Make's.
