Ah, sorry, I should have made myself more clear. / and \ are
interchangeable as parameters to system functions. They are not
necessarily equivalent as commandline parameters to programs, as they
might interpret / as option prefix or whatever. So wherever work is
delegated to an external program, normalizing path parameters to \
sounds like a reasonable thing to do, as well as removing other possibly
nasty chars.
