-- 'hybrid' support for DOS-style paths in directory lists.
--
-- That is, if "foo:bar:baz" is used, this interpreted as
-- consisting of three entries, 'foo', 'bar', 'baz'.
-- However, with "c:/foo:c:\\foo;x:/bar", this is interpreted
-- as four elts, "c:/foo", "c:\\foo", "x", and "/bar" --
-- *provided* c:/foo exists and x:/bar doesn't.
--
-- Notice that no attempt is made to fully replace the 'standard'
-- split marker ':' with the Windows / DOS one, ';'. The reason being
-- that this will cause too much breakage for users & ':' will
-- work fine even with DOS paths, if you're not insisting on being silly.
-- So, use either.
