The Makefile may not be as generic as it should be, because I mostly
just wrote it for my own needs in building Nmap binary packages for
distribution.  The "official" documented way to build Nmap is still
through the Visual Studio GUI.  But I agree that using the Makefile is
often easier and superior, so I'd be happy to have the Makefile
generalized further (such as by using /cygdrive/c rather than /c) if
someone sends me a patch that they've tested.
