I typically work on windows, but in virtually all of the software I use
I use paths in the form of:
A/B/C
Windows seems to interpret this OK in the lower level API's (at least in
.NET, havent actually tried directly win32 stuff in ages). So I suspect
that you could use paths in that form pretty much everywhere.
