This would certainly preserve backward compatibility, so it is Ok.
However, may I suggest to add two other enums, namely, CCP_WIN_TO_POSIX
and CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN, that preserve encoding?
This is also useful, as not always one has to convert to/from Windows
style paths for calling native APIs.

Thanks,
