FWD: make 3.81 beta3 configuration script error

[Paul D. Smith]

If your assessment is accurate, this is an issue for the autoconf folks,
not me.  For those on the autoconf list, this version of GNU make is
built with autoconf 2.59.  In my configure.in script I test the value of
PATH_SEPARATOR to choose whether to support DOS-style pathnames:

 # If we're building on Windows/DOS/OS/2, add some support for DOS drive specs.
 if test "$PATH_SEPARATOR" = ';'; then
   AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DOS_PATHS, 1,
             [Define this if your system requires backslashes or drive
             specs in pathnames.])
 fi

That's about it.  Let me know if you would like more info.

FYI, the beta release discussed here is available in
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/.

Thanks.
