Just to be contrarian:

sholden at bigboy ~/Projects/python.org/build
$ ls C:/Steve/
Apache                          SANSsecurityOverview.pdf
Apache2                         SQLServer.txt
     ...
Resume.odt                      todo.txt
Resume.pdf                      untitled-1.py

sholden at bigboy ~/Projects/python.org/build

That's Cygwin, of course. Is that sufficiently "unix-like"? Though I 
have to admit that the different utilities all take different approaches 
to the use of Windows paths, and some just won't take them at all.

regards
  Steve
