Comment:

 This bug also creates havoc for shell scripts running under Windows. E.g.
 I have a script that takes a file name as an output (option defined with:
 "gisprompt: new_file,file,output"). If the user inputs something like
 this: "C:\Documents\Output.tif" as option value, then g.parser mangles it
 to: "C:DocumentsOutput.tif". I have tested this on Windows XP with GRASS
 6.4.0RC6. But given that this ticket is still open, I assume that the bug
 is still around, too? If so, it needs to be fixed, as it could put a
 number of scripts out-of-order under Windows.
