Summary: load failure under windows, with unix paths

Initial Comment:
Load fails under ActiveTcl 8.6b6 to load some dlls under windows:

(petasis) 49 % package require tdbc
1.0b16
(petasis) 50 % package require tdbc::mysqlcouldn't load library "libmysql.dll": this library or a dependent library could not be found in library path
    while executing
"load c:/tclapps/tcl/lib/teapot/package/win32-ix86/lib/tdbc_mysql1.0b15/tdbcmysql10b15.dll tdbcmysql"
    ("package ifneeded tdbc::mysql 1.0b15" script)
    invoked from within
"package require tdbc::mysql"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 {package require tdbc::mysql}"
(petasis) 51 % load [file native c:/tclapps/tcl/lib/teapot/package/win32-ix86/lib/tdbc_mysql1.0b15/tdbcmysql10b15.dll] tdbcmysql
(petasis) 52 % pwd
D:/Users/petasis
(petasis) 53 % package require tdbc::mysql
1.0b15
(petasis) 54 % 

The filename loading using unix notation fails, using "file native" succeeds.
