problem shelling out new processes in Bash B1.8 for NT4.0


It seems that when our make files (for gnu make) try to shell out
a new process, the result is a new DOS command interpreter, not a UNIX
style Bash shell.  We noticed the problem when we saw that the 
shelled out processes could not interpret UNIX style path names.

We have tried specifying a shell in our make files with the following
command:

SHELL = $(SHELL_PATH)/sh.exe

but Bash does not allow this assignment.

How can we configure Bash so that it uses sh to shell out new processes?

Thanks,
Brian.
