MSYS Make and Windows Paths

Why can I not find any documentation about how Windows absolute paths are interpreted in MSYS make?
C:\TEMP\tmp2.txt: C:\TEMP\tmp.txt
touch C:\\TEMP\\tmp2.txt
This works just fine in MSYS make. Cygwin make can't handle all those colons. Why doesn't MSYS document how it handles paths anywhere?
