Well, both "/" and "\" are acceptable as separators on windows. gcl
uses "/" and clisp uses "\", so just checking if we are on windows is
not sufficient.
Since on windows "/" can't be in a pathname if "\" is used as a
separator, the code can't fail. On other systems we are already
assuming that "/" is the separator, so "\" will not be used in any
case. So I think it is not worth checking for which os and lisp is
being used.
