No: two backward (\\) or one forward (/) slash. Backslashes are used
to represent unprintable characters such as newline (\n), tab (\t)
etc.

The quiet (--q), verbose (--v) and overwrite (--o) flags have their
own options, so:

	grass.run_command(..., flags='o', overwrite=True)

for -o and --o.

The GRASS parser allows normal flags to be concatenated, so "-abc" is
equivalent to "-a -b -c", but the flags beginning with two dashes have
to be given separately.
