HAVE_DOS_PATHS is supported in the Cygwin build as well, and there
PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR must stay ':'.  So please modify your patch to
exclude Cygwin from its effect, and then I'll agree to its
HAVE_DOS_PATHS part.  I leave the rest to VMS expert and to Paul.

Also, I think it'd be good to add a comment there explaining why we
are overriding the results of the configure scripts.

Thanks.
