    Sorry, Ilya, it does not:
    
    ```python
    >>> foo = "E:\\this\\is\\a\\test"
    >>> foo
    'E:\\this\\is\\a\\test'
    >>> foo[2]
    '\\'
    >>> os.path.normcase(foo)
    'e:\\this\\is\\a\\test'
    ```
    We always want backslashes to be forward slashes for these specific paths 
because Erlang is too stupid to use the correct path separator character on 
Windows, it _always_ wants the UNIX separator. I'm not sure of any other way to 
do this. Besides, there are other places in this script where we already use 
the same `string.replace` syntax. Unless you want me to convert all of them... 
:wink:
