Today, I only saw it in the #line directives. I am running sip from a 
distutils based setup.py script to build PyQwt. It called sip like:

C:\MyStuff\sip-2.5\sip\sip.exe -I sip -I C:\MyStuff\PyQt-2.5\sip -c qwt
-t Qt_2_3_0 sip\qwt.sip

If I change this to

C:\MyStuff\sip-2.5\sip\sip.exe -I sip -I C:/MyStuff/PyQt-2.5/sip -c qwt
-t Qt_2_3_0 sip/qwt.sip

it works.
You might call it a feature, but I think it is bug: I used os.join() because 
it is supposed to guarantee portable code.

I understand if you don't want to bother, but if I send you a patch, will you
apply it?

PS: can nmake do something like
nmake -DVERSION="2.5"
I tried and failed.
