Yes, that seems a bug to me. I have no idea if configure is used for Mingw
and I guess ':' works for Cygwin. So I still do not see how to fix that.

In these cases I follow the rule:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/338156/table-naming-dilemma-singular-vs-plural-names
Besides that for example 'set debug-file-directory' originally allowed only
one directory but for some years it allows a PATH-style list of directories.
Should it be therefore the old option name deprecated + renamed?
