Probably, but it likely would not work with my cygwin mounts and pathnames
(not to mention my preference for compiling from sources on windows)...

Right now, I have everything mounted under "/", which is equivalent
to "/c/."  But, I also have '/s' => 'S:\', '/m' => 'M:\'.

Also, my shell is Bash, and it's seems like it is the shell that is
complaining about not understanding Windows pathnames:
"sh: usrbincattdoc not found", or
"sh: \usr\bin\catdoc not found" (when I double the backslash).

I've been using updpatedb/locate to find files, and grep to look for
contents, but since most of my development work is done in the
linux or cygwin environment, windows paths would cause problems.

I believe many of the unix utils I use would likely have fits with
"\" used as a dirname separator.
