Lately, I've been running into a problem trying to compile mozilla central with pymake (make.py -f client.mk in the root directory of mozilla central) with this weird error showing up in the console output:

Talking with Tim, this had to do with the fact that my direct X sdk I have installed has a parenthesis in it. Could we patch this up so that way someone else doesn't hit the issue I hit?

This is a patch I wrote for an unrelated issue, but that I think would solve this problem as well. This is WIP and not fully tested, although it does pass the pymake test suite.

jsmith: your pymake is out of date. Please use the in-tree pymake (python topsrcdir/build/pymake/make.py) or update your pull of bsmedberg's repository.

BTW, using in-tree pymake is probably going to be best because of the constant stream of fixes coming to it.
