[jamming] Path Bug

[Alen Ladavac]

While on this topic, and while majam is on the rise... :)

... I've had our version of jam "re-adjusted" so that, internally, it
only uses forward slashes (Unix-style). So, in jamfiles, you'd only
use "/" and jam would remap to "\" when accessing disk (we are only
considering NT and Unix platforms here, but it could use ":" or
whatever if that's needed). Additionally, when invoking build actions,
I've added :\ modifier to remap slashes as wanted. (But, you'd be
surprised at how many Windows command-line tools just accept "/"-paths
without a problem!)

It's been a sheer pleasure working multi-platform since then. :) Would
it perhaps be useful to have something like this in majam as well?
