I think that we can spin-off much more to System.Directory and
System.FilePath (yes, I read the 2008 thread about that), but we
should start to use Windows paths for Windows and Posix paths for
Posix.
It's ok to use Posix for relative path inside the repository, as they
need to be cross platform.
The only environment where this possibly make some mess is Cygwin, but
we could always add a compilation flag that forces Posix paths in
there.

Sure! Sorry for not being careful the first time :).
