The attached patch supports both styles. The heuristics didn't turn
out to be as hairy as I imagined.

A few test cases:

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

nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix c:/emacs/emacs-112809
#define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH
"%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/24.3.50/site-lisp;%emacs_dir%/share/emacs/site-lisp"

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

nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix="c:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs"
--enable-locallisppath="%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp;d:/wherever/site-lisp"
#define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH
"%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp/;d:/wherever/site-lisp"

nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix="c:/Program Files (x86)/Emacs"
--enable-locallisppath="%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp;/d/wherever/site-lisp"
#define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH
"%emacs_dir%/../site-lisp/;d:/wherever/site-lisp"

nt/msysconfig.sh --prefix="/usr/local"
--enable-locallisppath="/usr/local/share/my-site-lisp"
#define PATH_SITELOADSEARCH "%emacs_dir%/share/my-site-lisp"
