Probably because the MSYS port of Bash sets $PATH_SEPARATOR to `:', and configure picks that up (see configure.in). I don't know how to fix this, since the MSYS shell can be used to configure both the MSYS port of Make and the native port, and I don't know enough about MSYS to suggest a solution that will support both possibilities. Earnie, could you please advise?
