On further inspection, this doesn't work either since the SUBSTITUTE
variable is part of one long pipe concatenation :( However, the
following works for me:

SUBSTITUTE=-e s!@bindir@!$(SUBBINDIR)!g \
           -e s!@datadir@!$(datadir)!g \
           -e s!@prefix@!$(prefix)!g \
	   -e s!@SONAME@!$(SONAME)!g

The reason I'd like to do it like this is because MSYS has a habit
quoting different arguments in different ways - DOS-style, Windows-style
and UNIX style. Hence if we fix it using a different separator, then it
means any changes in MSYS shouldn't break the build process.

If no-one objects over the weekend, I'll commit this to SVN.


Kind regards,

Mark.
