Only partially. 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.
Regards,
Mumit
