My understanding is that with a small number of exceptions, / can be
used as path separator.

The exceptions I'm aware of are:

* cmd.exe's command line -- for backwards compatibility, since many
  DOS programs treated / as introducing option flags, analogously to
  how *nix uses '-'

* the Windows shell (aka "Explorer").  For reasons I cannot fathom,
  you must use backslashes.

But the Win32 API functions, as far as I know, all allow forward
slashes.
