Well, I recall that there used to be issues with it, but I am not
Windows developer. Better test it than break stuff.

The usual problems are with people entering the path interactively into
a string somewhere or loading it from a config file. Then it has to be
escaped or converted to forward slashes, no? That is what the
osgDB::convertFileNameToUnixStyle(fileName) call does.
