If your going to be using the Gnu version of make, definately look at 
the documentation on gnu.org.  All of the tools supplied in MinGW and 
Msys are well documented on gnu.org, including make, gcc, sh, etc. For 
make, I found the documetation itself to be a pretty decent tutorial. 

Choose your poison:
http://www.gnu.org/manual/make-3.80/make.html

or just view the html directly:
http://www.gnu.org/manual/make-3.80/html_chapter/make_toc.html

Btw, gvim and msys together with mingw make an awesome development 
evironment.  Much better than trying to use batch files directly, 
certainly, and even better than something like Dev-Cpp imho, although 
I'm kinda biased.  If you're interested, post back and I'll give you a 
quikie tour on how to set them up and use them together.
