Can you explain the reason? The Windows port was dropped. If support for
different path separators is still desired, the Windows version should
support both slash and backslash. Comparing a character with PATH_SEP is
not going to work if more than one path separator is to be supported.
Also, I believe VFS has always been using forward slashes. If we want to
support different path separators, somebody should describe the syntax of
VFS paths first. I don't see any reason to keep this "political
correctness" alive until the syntax of VFS paths is documented.
I'd rather remove PATH_SEP than have an illusion of portability.
