Summary: xbuild is far too aggressive in converting '\'
characters to '/' in all expressions and attribute
values

xbuild is far too aggressive in converting '\' characters to '/' in all
expressions and attribute values. For instance, if I wanted to use the
WriteLinesToFile task and needed to include the '\' character in the Lines
attribute value to escape some regular expressions or if I needed to use the
Exec task to execute a perl -e command, it will currently fail miserably due to
blindly converting all '\' characers to '/'. Even '\\' sequences are converted
to '//' sequences. Not all '\' characters are "Windows" path separators.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write an MSBuild script to process a text file using the exec task and call
"perl -e 's/\t/ /g' @(FileItem)"
2. The "\t" will convert to "/t" which will clearly not work.
3.
Actual Results:
One-line perl program simply doesn't work as intended due to '\' conversions.
Expected Results:
Expected the one-line perl program to properly convert tabs to the specified
number of spaces in the specified file.
