Beware: the DJGPP port of GNU `ls' converts all backslashes to forward
slashes before `main' even sees them.  So you might type \\foo, but what
`ls' really sees is //foo; see the message printed by `ls'.  Some
observations reported here seem to indicate that the case of the slashes
matters (probably because the conversion of / into \ is done on a
different level than the canonicalization of file names).
