I don't like this idea. Aside from the fact that it would slow everything down 
when using a UNIX path, you have case sensitivity issues (UNIX paths should 
be case sensitive, Windows paths should not).

An app should know at compile time the path is a UNIX path or a Windows one 
anyway. As this is something only a WineLib app should care about it seems to 
me that a deterministic compile time solution is better than an heuristic run 
time solution.
