I was thinking about this, and almost ready to implement it. But
then I thought about the Windows case. On cygwin, the directory
separator is '/', but then some tools probably use '\' and we
accept it. On MinGW, the standard directory separator is '\', but
GCC at least uses forward slashes as far as I know.

So, in implementation terms, anchoring against the directory
separator is tricky on Windows. I think we should accept both.
I'm just not sure what is the best way of implementing this.
Looks like we might not be able to avoid an #ifdef macro.
