Which separator used is a function a several things depending on how you are
accessing the URL: protocol, implementation and OS.  All my file: URLs have
a Windows separators on Win2k Server.

I'm now using XP, and it seems to work OK for me. Is it failing for you?
If your environment is properly configured, it works.  Remove the versions
directory(ies) and you should see that it looks in some interesting places.
Additionally, each place that checks for a File.directory, needs to handle
postpended File.separators regardless of OS.

Hi,

I *think* it is right to use "/" because we're not necessarily talking about
something on the file system. Since base is a URL, it could exist on a
web-server (where / is correct). For most practically cases however the file
is on the file system where the URL library should convert to the correct
separator.
