I suspect that if you run the configure script with the Cygwin shell,
PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR will be set for Cygwin.
This is true: I have found no MinGW-specific settings in the configure
script. It only detects PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR from the environment. So
I guess both Cygwin and MSYS will cause the auto-detected path
separator to be ":". It has to be manually changed currently.
