Forgot to reply to this one....

 * Hmm. Personally I would have thought ',' is a more dangerous character to
 * use than ':' since it's a very common list element separator. I don't know
 * how much it matters though.

':' is actually very bad because it will confuse make.  (See the "make
parallel" target in ports/Makefile -- it generates a Makefile used in
the parallel package building system.)
