I'm not sure what you're basing this statement on but under the hood, the 
Win32 APIs understand both / and \ as path separators.  So there shouldn't
be a difference at the API-level between NT-based and 9x-based systems in 
terms of the path separators they handle.   This should translate into all
the Cygwin-based tools directly.  For any other toolset, YMMV.
