I know it may be too late for that and I don't want to bring old discussions 
back to live, but FWIW I agree with you and André, in the way that GDB should 
correctly handle the backslash on MinGW environments.

I don't use Windows and I share your feelings about its quality, but I have 
this feeling that, if we're going to support something, we should really 
support it.  Too bad this patch (apparently) won't go in.
