automake CVS HEAD and bootstrapping with DJGPP

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

bootstrap from automake CVS HEAD assumes that the path separator is ':'.
The path separator on DOS is ';'.

Below is a patch to make bootstrap auto-detect what the path separator is.
I "borrowed" the code from a configure script. Note that it must run
before "set -e", since running boot$$.sh will fail if the path separator
isn't ';'.

Bye, Rich =]
