This is definitely not my area, but IMHO such an option would add
clutter, and (most of all) be terribly inefficient.
Moreover, it would discourage people from writing portable code in
the first place.
After this somebody will ask that '\' will be recognized as path
separator...

I have heard somebody trying to implement this sort of workaround
at a completely different level: as a FUSE based filesystem.
This (while Linux specific) would be a nicer approach IMHO.
At least it will stay out of the way of the xsp code ;-)

Ciao,
