Wouldn't it be better to obey the value of `directory-sep-char' (buffer: *wide reply to Dan Holmsand*, mode: Message) Variable: value: ?\\ Directory separator character for built-in functions that return file names. The value should be either ?/ or ?\ (any other value is treated as ?\). This variable affects the built-in functions only on Windows, on other platforms, it is initialized so that Lisp code can find out what the normal separator is. ?
