One of the goals of the original Rob Tulloh's implementation was to
allow ':' as a separator. (He arrived to the point to explain how to
disambiguate directory names consisting of a single character by
rewriting them as "X/." rather than "X" so that in "X/.:/Y/." the
colon could be parsed properly...)
However, I've also never seen setting PATH in the makefile. It is not
a portable setting, particularly across different OSes.
