Are forward slashes only shown to the user, or does the code pas the
file name with forward slashes to CreateProcess?  (I'm not familiar
with thecode enough to determine which one myself, sorry.)  If we pass
forward slashes to CreateProcess, it could cause problems, IME; it is
much safer to use backslashes there.

Thanks.
