[rdiff-backup-users] Native Windows Port

[Josh Nisly]

I'm attempting to make a native Windows port of rdiff-backup. I've 
succeeded so far in building librsync and rdiff-backup's cmodules, as 
well as fixing rdiff-backup's fs_abilities checks. What I'm running up 
against now is that there seems to be a lot of assumptions that the 
directory separator is "/", which obviously doesn't work on windows. I 
think that the correct solution is to memorize in either the Connection 
or RPath objects what the correct separator is, and use that everywhere. 
Does this seem like the correct solution? Has anybody else tried porting 
to Windows recently? There's an old page on the wiki with some 
high-level notes, but I couldn't find anything else.

Also, is Windows support something that's desirable enough that patches 
for it would be accepted?

Thanks,
Josh Nisly
