Yep. I was looking at the cygwin gcc-2.95.2-1-src.tar.gz source code,
which was used to build the version of gcc everyone (until last night)
was using. However, even that version doesn't use 'DIRSEP' -- it uses
'DIR_SEPARATOR' but I didn't feel like typing that four or five times in
my message. Sorry if that caused confusion.
