That's not necessary in almost all cases.  Windows happily(*)
accepts forward slashes in all system calls.  The only place
it does not is in the *shell* (aka command.com and cmd.exe).
That means paths passed as arguments to os.system or the
Popen gang need to be normcased, but for things like open()
you don't need to bother.

(*) There are theories that although Windows does accept
forward slashes, it does so only grudgingly.
