Oops ! I forgot to add it to Makefile.am so it was not in any of
the distribution.  PATCHES-AM was base on our discussion on
TEXINPUTS that used ':' as a delimiter.  I'll roll up a 2.3d
and put it on my ftp site, can not seem to get anything on
alpha.  I think that I indeed forwarded the patch to the automake
mailing list .. don't remember the followups :-(.

Thanks for the catch.
