See attached. Here is a brief description:

Support the --enable-locallisppath argument on Windows, by making use
of the value of ${locallisppath} supplied by `configure'.
Also correct the description of ${locallisppath} in epaths.in and epaths.nt.

I don't know about Changelogs and stuff. Is there any chance
I can leave all that up to the real developers please?

Tested with kit as in INSTALL.MSYS, including Make 3.82.90,
and gives the expected results in epaths.h:

msysconfig.sh
=> #define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH
"%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.50/site-lisp;%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/site-lisp"

msysconfig.sh "--prefix=/c/Program Files (x86)/GNU Emacs/emacs-112416"
=> #define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH
"%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.50/site-lisp;%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/site-lisp"

msysconfig.sh --locallisppath=%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp
=> #define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH "%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp"
