Yikes. If it's that hard to get it to work, maybe we should just
knuckle under and make %p convert / to \ under Windows :-(

(Microsoft cultural imperialism wins another round...)

However, just one question --- the Microsofties also like to put spaces
in path names. How much quoting would be needed to make this command
string work in the face of spaces in %p, even if we did the backslash
thing? If the answer is "nearly as much" then I'm not going to be
excited about backslashing.
