I value that.
I just wanted to point out what my observations are and too I don't want
to see that windows stuff (what is the minority in this case) will get
more attention or more priority as stuff on linux (which pretty much is
the majority, I believe). Don't get me wrong, I see them both as
important.
And even on windows there are pathes with colon in it. (read c:\...,
d:\...)
