allow executing a path in backslash notation

[Ilya Beylin]

Thomas, you are right, it is rather an issue with bash:
when does not see a slash in the command name, it starts path
searching, and of course finds nothing.
Looks like a bug.

$ "$WINDIR\system32\cmd.exe" /c echo ok
bash: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe: command not found

$ "$WINDIR/system32\cmd.exe" /c echo ok
ok
