In general, you *can* use '/' just the same as '\', even
though it is clearly not the convention on DOS or Windows.

The thing we are quibbling about here,
is the suppression of duplicate include files,
where you should use the standard '\'
on DOS/Windows to avoid ambiguities
in rare situations, e.g. .\foo.e will look like
the same file as foo.e and won't be included,
but ./foo.e will look like a different file and will be included.
