Horrors!  ':' is the directory separator on older Macs, like '/' 
on unixen.  That simply won't work...

But maybe we could adopt a scheme were path strings that can be 
recognized as being in unix format will be interpreted correctly 
on all platforms?

Or maybe we should just leave the old Mac code as it is -- the 
new MacOS X is after all using the using the unix style as it 
is.  My guess is that more and more Mac users are switching 
over.  What were the dowload numbers for the Mac when split up 
between the two offered packages?
