True, Win32 supports both forward and backward slashes. But it
never 'produces' a forward slash in a path if it was not htere before.
The real questions i: if there is a forward slash in the path,
would the real GetFullPath leave it in?
The unsuspecting application may not expect to find a forward
slash (when parsing the string to find the basename, etc.) in the path
returned by GetFullPath. And this is where the problem is.
