I disagree with this patch. Using Autoconf's PATH_SEPARATOR is fine,
it's documented and will be maintained. Do not depend on private
undocumented variables such as ac_path_separator. FYI, it will
disappear since that code will move into M4sh.
Never ever *EVER* use an Autoconf private variable.
Autoconf itself should use PATH_SEPARATOR only, thanks for the bug
report ;)
