Thanks for the tip, Eli.

It seems that windows-path cannot be directly manipulated except through a
few path functions.  It took me a while to figure out how to convert
windows-path back to string: first use path->bytes and then
bytes->string/utf-8.

Are there thoughts to allow all path functions to manipulate the different
path types?  It seems the differences between these path types are not
great.

Thanks,
