Bug #1641: File::SEPARATOR not platform-specific
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1641

ruby -v: 1.8.6p111 1.9.1p129

The default file path separator should be \ on Windows, but i got:
>>> File::SEPARATOR
#=> "/"

Sometimes it is just fine to use '/', but there are problems:
>>> system "explorer #{File.join "C:","Program Files"}" # doesn't work.
>>> system "explorer C:\\Program Files"                 # works 

Currently I have to redefine File.join to avoid similar problems. But I think patching it will be quite helpful.
