I would have done that (or something equivalent) if I had realized that
"makefile.msc" was there in ".." - and BTW: you can read something only if
you know it's there. ;-)

I think nmake is not sophisticated enough to do the thing that I asked for,
but for people who want to change a gimp-plugin for the first time it would
even help to have a "makefile.msc" containing:

--- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip ---
snip --- snip --- snip ---
!ERROR To compile the plugin use the makefile.msc in the directory above
--- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip --- snip ---
snip --- snip --- snip ---

Perhaps I'm the only one who made this mistake, but perhaps not...
