Great!

Done in commit cf0bbe82e26da1bfec4b6144a3d8c67e533124c5

The change affects the interpretation of --with-dictionary-path (configured 
default), VOIKKO_DICTIONARY_PATH environment variable and Windows registry 
settings. The path separator character is ; on Windows and : on other 
operating systems.

I did not actually test this by reconfiguring the library but

VOIKKO_DICTIONARY_PATH=/path1:/path2 voikkospell -l

seems to find stuff from both /path1 and /path2 so I expect it to work. Let me 
know if you find any issues.
