[armedbear-devel] #P serialization across Windows/non-Windows

[Mark Evenson]

The (revised, tested, working) attached patch solves the cross-platform 
Pathname serialization problem by eliminating the output of '\' 
characters in namestrings as they are all now interpreted and converted 
to '/' regardless of platform.

1.  UNC paths now have problems.  My proposal would be that UNC paths 
always use the "unprintable namestring" representation when I figure out 
what that should be like

2.  No convenience function to convert a namestring to Windows '\' 
forms.  Since Windows accepts '/' as a directory separator is this 
really necessary?
