Joel, didn't you have a patch for this at some point? Or am I
imagining things?
I'm of the opinion that we could save ourselves a heck of a lot of
trouble by allowing both DOS and POSIX pathnames. This breaks on
POSIX systems where you have directories starting with "c:" in the
current directory, or files containing backslashes - both quite
unlikely. The only touchy bit is case sensitivity, of course...
