Details:

This was reported to me by a third party:

GNUstep file and directory path methods (such as [NSFileManager
currentDirectoryPath] ) seem to return strings in Windows format (using \
instead of /). While the Cocoa docs I’ve read aren’t totally obvious about
this, the path methods in NSString suggest that Cocoa expects all file paths
to be in Unix format internally (see the description of [NSString
getFileSystemRepresentation:maxLength:] for example). So GNUstep’s behavior
might be seen as a “bug”.
