Removed the various "echo." lines from lisp\makefile.w32-in and nt\makefile.w32-in. They caused mingw32-make.exe bootstrap to fail with the following error if cmd.exe was being used as the shell: "process_begin: CreateProcess((null), echo., ...) failed." I replaced the "@echo." lines in nt\makefile.w32-in with "@echo ." This writes a . to the screen but that is far more desirable than make bootstrap failing. I replaced the "echo. ..." line in lisp\makefile.w32-in with "echo ;;; ...". This writes an extra comment line to loaddefs.el. Again this is far more desirable than make bootstrap failing. NOTE: I am using cmd.exe as my shell when building Emacs with MinGW instead of the sh.exe that comes with msys because when I use sh.exe as my shell, loaddefs.el does not get properly generated and I get various auto load errors.
