Well, '/' works as a directory separator for all Unix systems and also
for Microsoft Windows at this level. Is there a system which doesn't
accept '/' in this place which is still relevant?
Personally I don't see the point in aiming for portability to systems like
Mac OS 9, RISC OS, and VMS in 2010...

Solaris 10 doesn't for starters. I don't have ready access to the other
non-Linux, non-BSD Unix flavours to check those right now.
