In a quick scan of other layers, they are all leaving the variable in
the same state (with a trailing colon), whether they are using
_prepend or _append.

So while it does count on the existing variable to end with a colon,
that seems to be no different than other places. I quickly dumped the
environment for an openvswitch build and the default FILESEXTRAPATHS
does end with a colon, so it should be safe. Whether it is perfect
form or not, I can't say, since I've never looked at that in detail
either.

But I very well could be missing something! (I haven't had a coffee yet).
