Use File::separator for project names
-------------------------------------

                 Key: BUILDR-132
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-132
             Project: Buildr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core features
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2
            Reporter: Ittay Dror


If I have a buildfile like:
define 'top' do
   define 'sub' do
       define 'subsub' do
       end
   end
end

then the project name for referencing is sub:subsub. tihs is also the name for 
building a specific project from the command line (without cd).

if instead the name were sub/subsub, and on windows allow sub\subsub in the 
command line, this would have allowed to use the shell's completion (when 
probject names map to directory names). 

if i understand correctly, the ':' separator is defined by rake, so maybe not 
change that internally, but instead allow passing names like sub/subsub in the 
command line and convert them to sub:subsub before finding and invoking the 
task.

(note: i know one can 'cd' to the module directory and build it, but this is 
tedious)
