I was thinking of simplifying this to the strchr test for backslash
because all paths with a backslash are handled as Windows paths.
Without actually checking the source, I'd guess the above is checking
for an absolute path in the first place.  Hopefully everybody is
aware that HOME should be a full path... :)

But yes, your above expression is ok, too.
