Looking at the code, I'm not sure why we'd ever want to replace
occurances of "//" with "////".
Because double backslashes (yes, I saw your correction) were being
converted from XML as single backslashes, as you'd expect. But this
was causing problems with Windows bass-ackwards pathing, especially
when one of the components of the path began with a meta character
such as 'n' or 't'. A path such as:
c:\\somedir\\new.db
...was being unpacked to:
c:\somedir\new.db
...and Python was interpreting this as:
c:\somedir
ew.db
I don't have the time right now to play around with this, since I've
got my laptop in Ubuntu mode instead of Windows. If you do any
testing, make sure to test with files beginning with lower-case 'n'
or 't'.
