| The diff below patches AS_MKDIR_P to properly support DOS-style
| paths. This entails
|  a) using \ as well as / as dirsep (IFS)
|  b) not trying to mkdir a drivespec

I'm sorry, you'll quickly be tired of me, but I still have some
complains :(

I'd like the patch not to use the two of them.  What I'd suggest is
that you write something which finds out 1. the path separator, and
2. the dir separator.  Do this in some _AS_ macro, and let _AC_INIT
call it, and then depend upon this.  Other than that, the patch is
fine.

Or simply, let AS_MKDIR m4_require it.

I think we *are* progressing :)
