You don't need to.  People keep forgetting that Windows will take forward
slashes internally from programs.  The only things that have a hangup about
it are cmd.exe (newer command shells), command.com (older command shells),
and the programs MS supplies themselves (or any third-party place supplies)
that use "/" as a switch character.

Anything not written as such will happily be allowed by Windows to use the
forward slashes in paths, and such paths will be honoured gracefully.
