Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:2 hamish]:
 > probably G_convert_dirseps_to_host() is needed somewhere in the code.

 Did you mean G_convert_dirseps_from_host()?

 It's only necessary to convert / to \ if the path is being passed to
 Windows' command interpreter. The rest of the OS understands both / and \.

 OTOH, some GRASS functions only recognise /, so any \ characters need to
 be converted.
