It shouldn't be a problem - Windows uses / and \ pretty much
interchangeably for most things. What's the code that's giving you
problems?

`md #{File.join("c:","foo")}` fails as well. STDERR contains 'The
syntax of the command is incorrect'.

In other languages, like Java, the path separator constant/method is
used to abstract the knowledge of which operating system is in play.
Can it not be so in Ruby?
