Filename Canonicalization

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3) "Academic Rigor" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32) of Thu May 17 2001 on SHALOM configured using `configure UNKNOWN' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Under MS-Windows, XEmacs (properly) accepts either (or both) a slash or a backslash in a filename as directory separator. However, this can lead to files being entered with a combination of both which can be disconcerting to new people. Emacs takes the approach of changing the entered filename during minibuffer-complete-word so that all the slashes agree with each other. Perhaps XEmacs should do the same?
