In most situations a slash will work.  Only when making a shell command
on MS-Windows you sometimes need to use a backslash, since the slash is
used for option flags.  In those situations you mostly know a backslash
is required, thus you don't need a variable.  Or is there a common
situation where you do need to use the system-dependend separator?

You can use `os.sep`.  Is it worth adding an Aap variable for this?  If
it is then I think it should be $SEP.  Using $PATHSEP is a bit
confusing, because the Python `os.pathsep` is the separator used in
$PATH.
