Okay. It still means that we want all of the paths to be '/' separated
internally. Which means that we want to stop using "os.path.join",
perhaps creating a osutils.path_join() function to replace it. The nice
thing about "os.path.join" is that it collapses a lot of things, so
join('path/', 'subdir') becomes 'path/subdir' rather than 'path//subdir'.
I'm thinking possibly to just use the native os.path.join, and then
replace '\' with '/' in the windows version.
(windows version also has to deal with multiple roots, c: vs d:, etc)
