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".
