We really should recommend
  CDPATH=${ZSH_VERSION+.}$PATH_SEPARATOR
instead; using ':' for CDPATH on DJGPP causes bash to _start_ printing
the directory names.  For autoconf there is currently no problem, as
CDPATH is unset before falling back on setting it to ':'; but I was
bitten by this in the am_aux_dir expansion.

IIRC, the 1.5 branch already does.
