I think if you do NOT set PATH_SEPARATOR=:, `pwd` will return the normal 
DOS-style path like h:/foo/bar, and everything will work.

If you need to set PATH_SEPARATOR=: elsewhere in the script/Makefile, 
just unset it on the particular command line that calls `pwd`.

Alternatively, you could replace `pwd` with something like this:

	`pwd | sed -e s,^//\([A-z]\)/,\1:/,`
