Geoffrey's patch simply turns the directory separator from '\' to '/', but only after translating the path to win32 native, which now looks like 'c:/tmp/foo/bar' etc. Btw, I have a followup to the patch, committed to the egcs dev branch, that fixes a small oversight in Geoffrey's patch. Out of the two possible extremes -- win32 only and POSIX only -- this is a reasonable compromise, but it does defeat some of my mounting strategies. We'll still have occasional problems in dealing with configuration tools that have trouble with ':' in pathnames (I have a few home-grown ones that do have this problem), and these will get fixed over time.
