______ /usr/share/aclocal/guidod-cvs/patch_libtool_sys_lib_search_path_spec.m4 ______

Cross-compiling to win32 from a unix system reveals a bug - the path-separator has been set to ";" depending on the target system. However, the crossgcc search_path_spec works in a unix-environment with unix-style directories and unix-stylish path_separator. The result: the search_path_spec is a single word still containing the ":" separators.

This macro fixes the situation: when we see the libtool PATH_SEP to be ":" and search_path_spec to contain ":" characters, then these are replaced with spaces to let the resulting string work as a for-loop argument in libtool scripts that resolve -no-undefined libraries.

Later libtool generations have fixed the situation with using $PATH_SEPARATOR in the first place as the original path delimiter that will be scanned for and replaced into spaces.
