[Mingw-msys] posix and win32 paths

[Prof. A O. (T. A. Chief) <chi...@bi...>]

Hi all

One thing I have come across with my initial use of GPC for MSYS is 
the possibility of conflicts with posix and win32 paths. Some parts 
of the GPC runtime system do path conversions. There are teething 
problems with msys. Is there an msys function to convert between 
win32 and posix paths and vice versa? I am sure there must be - but 
is it exported in any header file and/or library? If not, it would be 
helpful if this could be included in the next msys snapshot. Thanks.

PS: what I have in mind is something like (I am sure C gurus will 
spot any mistakes in these examples):
	char *posix_path_to_win32_path (char *posix_path)
	char *win32_path_to_posix_path (char *win32_path)

I wrote a little hack in Pascal to do the former - but it would be 
far better if we could use built-in versions.

Thanks.

Best regards, 
   The Chief
