If the PATH contains a directory with a # in it's name, we will store
ORIGINAL_PATH=...#... in spec.gmk.
However, this will result in make cutting the line at #, believing the
rest to be a comment.
Unfortunately, having directories named # is not so esoteric it at first
seems, since Microsoft Visual Studio typically adds it's F#
implementation to the PATH. :-(
