Note that libtool-cvs now requires autoconf 2.50 or higher, which
already
sets $PATH_SEPARATOR as part of its initialisation (it also sets
$ac_path_separator, which would be preferred as variable inside autoconf
macros).
I'll try to send in a patch to drop _LT_AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_PATH_SEPARATOR
and
use the autoconf var instead of $PATH_SEPARATOR this evening (unless
there is a good reason to keep using PATH_SEPARATOR instead).

This would need the sed command to be double-quoted; otherwise a
semicolon would be seen as a command separator by the shell.
