The code I'm looking at, which I updated from CVS yesterday uses a '/' for
DIR_SEPARATOR if __CYGWIN__ is defined.  The macro DIRSEP doesn't exist.  Thbe
relavent code is:

-----8<--------
#ifndef IN_GCC
#if defined (__MSDOS__) || (defined (_WIN32) && ! defined (__CYGWIN__) && !
defi
ned (_UWIN))
#define DIR_SEPARATOR '\\'
#endif
#endif

#ifndef DIR_SEPARATOR
#define DIR_SEPARATOR '/'
#endif
-----8<--------

I don't think one is needed.
