AFAIK, MKS does not ever "silently convert slash to backslash".
The only time that I have found a forward slash to be an issue is when
it comes at the beginning of a path (i.e. an absolute path) in a command
line argument.  Some progams interpret the leading slash as unix interprets
a dash.  Using relative paths, or using a drive-letter-colon prefix
solves this problem.  (e.g. if /project/include causes an error, then
c:/project/include will probably work.)
