#3274: Add System.FilePath.Cygwin
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------

Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.10.2 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
I propose we add the module {{{System.FilePath.Cygwin}}} to the filepath
library. This module would be based on {{{System.FilePath.Windows}}} but
with {{{'/'}}} as the preferred path separator, rather than {{{'\\'}}} as
for Windows. This module would never be available as
{{{System.FilePath}}}, and would always have to be imported specifically
if wanted.
The desire for this module comes from working with the Cygwin shell, which
supports Windows syntax but requires the alternative separator. I have
been using such a module for a few months, and find it very useful.
There are no backward compatibility concerns, as it is a new separate
module.
Discussion deadline: 18th June 2009.
