If you want to handle unix-like pathnames, you should use
KL_UNIX_FILE_SYSTEM.

Now if you want to handle pathnames where both / and \ are recognized as
directory separators, then I'm not sure that the pathname that you provide
as example is valid. For example replace all \ by /. Is the resulting
pathname a valid unix pathname? The routines in KI_FILE_SYSTEM mention in
their header comments that they only make sense if the pathname is valid in
the underlying file system. If not, then the result is undefined. The
result that you get actually looks pretty good to me knowing that input is
not valid.
