Item9096: rewrite all file path manifulation code using File::Spec
Priority: Normal
Current State: Closed
Released In: 1.1.0
Target Release: minor
Applies To: Engine
Component:
Branches:
this NIH code is always falling over.
note that Crawford didn't do this earlier due to incompatibilities he found when running different perls on windows - so it clearly requires someone that is willing to test using strawberry, activestate, cygwin, unix services for windows and, um, the others that i can't recall right now.
best approach would be to set up buildbot clients with each setup..

on discussion, it was noted that we intentionally try to use
only the unix / internally, but that we do have lots of File::Spec littered wherever we then have to talk to the real world.
closing as frustrating.
