Therefore, I think a good compromise would be to provide both of these

with the second one used instead if a specific variable or property

Windows platforms.
Okay, please open an issue tracker entry for this with a link back
to the list archive for this thread.
The change will be a bit more involved because there can be sources
of search paths besides the hard-coded PATHS options that produce
UNIX-style paths. Also network paths "//machine/share/..." should
still work. A better description may be "unrooted" paths which can
be interpreted on each platform to mean "paths without a root
component recognized by the host operating system".
Hi Brad:
There are actually two issues I have identified. Therefore I have made
two bug reports; http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14485 (the
less controversial one which I think is probably a no-brainer) and
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14486 (the
IGNORE_UNROOTED_SEARCH_PATHS one).
Please let me know when these issues have been addressed, and I would
be happy to test the results on a Windows platform (Wine) where the
Linux OS file hierarchy is automatically accessible as a drive letter.
Alan
