That's OK, it was known the bug would happen once the PATH_SEP stuff
included.  I'm applying `a' fix.  I really don't like this area, there
are way too many different macros for one or two ideas at most.

What I'm including is more or less a quick and dirty fix (but with
some elegance I think :), hoping it might trigger some new ideas from
someone.
