Interesting, given that I've only tested it on Windows. ;-) Can you give an
example which doesn't work?

I tried to be diligent about using isPathSeparator and the related functions and
constants (even isExtSeparator), and a grep over the code reveals nothing, so if
something doesn't work I don't think it's because of that.

P.S.: I just uploaded 0.2 which has a somewhat speedier globDir. No
functionality changes.
