Is this a problem? On DOS and Win32, \ and / are both directory separators, basically interchangeable.

Ooops again, I didn't see the post a comment thing. Well emacs gives the error in the attached text file (forgot to include it when I submitted the bug), and then doesn't want to proceed with the merge

Note that in the error message in emacsError.txt there are _no_ directory separators, so the title of this issue is misleading. The problem is that the Windows directory separator `\` is an escape in elisp string syntax, so Emacs drops it from the string. The fix is to convert those to Unix directory separators. fixed in ef39de24.. 9/6/2007
