Oops, sorry.  Because your feature request came in on a different channel 
than the others (my GitHub inbox), I completely forgot about it.

normalize() is different -- it changes '/' to '\' on Windows, but it 
doesn't do anything with '\' on POSIX, since the backslash is a perfectly 
valid filename character on that platform.

Basically, Andrej has requested I add a toNativePath function which 
replaces all occurrences of '/' in a string with '\' on Windows, and vice 
versa on POSIX.  Thinking some more about it, I personally don't think 
I'll find this very useful, but I am interested in hearing others' 
opinions.

Does anyone else think toNativePath should be included?
