Well I don't know about Macromedia, but 7 lines is better than 16 for me.

<cfscript>
if(Server.OS.Name contains 'Windows') {
        localVars.pathSep='\';
} else {
        localVars.pathSep='/';
}
</cfscript>

There only needs to be one source for all platforms, not one source tree per
OS.

The Macromedia XML News Aggregator uses this function to determine the
correct directory delimiter for the current OS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<cfscript>
function getFileSeparator()
// this will switch betwixt *nix and Windows
{
    var fileObj = "";
    if (isDefined("application._fileSeparator"))
    {
        return application._fileSeparator;
    }
    else
    {
        fileObj = createObject("java", "java.io.File");
        application._fileSeparator = fileObj.separator;
        return getFileSeparator();
    }
}
</cfscript>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<cfoutput>#getFileSeparator()#</cfoutput>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Otherwise, case sensitivity should be the only other concern for a single
*nix/Windows source tree.
