In order to completely remove the _tweak_paths methods scattered around,
there is some code in svntest\main.py that will have to go, too, I think
-- it checks for Windows and causes lots of paths to be generated with
'/' rather than '\'. Also the greek_state tree might have to be tweaked
for Windows, too, I'm not sure, and probably some of the Sandbox code.

Is that preferred to messing with the _tweak_paths methods? It seems
cleaner to me, but I'm not sure how much work it will be. I should have
time to work on it this weekend.

Just to make sure, Subversion *is* moving towards outputting local path
separators, right? I seem to recall a discussion about that and I think
the consensus was that it should and is slowly getting there...but
before I spend much time on that assumption, I rather get some
confirmation...?
