Well, that is part of the problem. I don't think _remote_path() *should*
be unix-only. It really can't be, since we should be setting up a SFTP
server on the local host, and allowing you to pass absolute paths to it.

I think it would be better to support paths like:

sftp://localhost/C:/some/path
bzr+ssh://localhost/C:/another/path

In win32 we should just understand that there will be a drive letter as
part of the url.
