I understand that Mingw32 is supported with the Cygwin's shell (bash or
/bin/sh). I don't know the status of support for DJGPP and OS/2.

Since the test is run by bash and not by something else it may be very
tricky to determine the path separator unless you have perl/m4/whatever.

Well, maybe if you try ";" first it should work.
