Isn't this what File.join is supposed to do?  I haven't tried Ruby on 
Windows, but the documentation for File.join in Pickaxe is:

"Returns a new string formed by joining the strings using File::SEPARATOR."

Presumably File::SEPARATOR is defined as backslash on Windows and 
forward-slash on *nix machines.
