Is it possible to tell Emacs not to interpret escape character in a

(setq str "some\thing\escaped")
Can this be changed without changing the literal so that Emacs takes
exactly what is in the string, without escaping any characters?
What would you need this for?
I was thinking of an easier way of handling w32 file names. When trying
to build with MSYS it fails just because of the file name Emacs got from
somewhere is in w32 format. It would be more easy if there was a way to
tell Emacs that "this is just a raw string, please do not escape it".
In fact I think at least building with MSYS then would succeed - and
that would be nice!
