Use double backslashes for the path separators to workaround Microsoft

NMAKE brain damaging.  Sometimes backslashes are treated as a quoting
characters, and sometimes not, with no rhyme or reason that I can
determine.  Fortunatelly double backslashes in pathanmes don't seem to
hurt (for the times when the backslash isn't treated as a quoating
character).  Whoever decided Windows should use backslash as a path
separator should be shot.
