Issue 1538 -- local path style

As I was finally looking over the diff library to see where to change
paths to use local styles, I realized that might be a bad idea because
it breaks patch compatibility across platforms. After some testing,
indeed it does -- generating a patch on Windows using local style paths,
means it can't be applied (without tweaking) on other platforms.

So, I think it should be left alone. Any objections?

The rest of this issue involves error messages. There are hundreds I
have found so far that use internal style paths, and in several cases
the path could be a url -- no distinction is made, so a url check would
need to be made before calling the conversion function, before passing
the path to the error creation function. Should I proceed with this?
Any comments or recommendations?

Brane, are there any other specific areas you had in mind that should be
examined more closely?
