This seems to be system dependent behavior.  On Linux, "c:" is probably
the right answer because it is not treating "c:" differently than any
other set of characters.  On windows, "c:/" is probably the better answer.

We can address this in the test case by allowing either option for test
success (or make a system dependent test).  Either way, I'm satisfied with
this.
