Where did you get the idea that cmd.exe doesn't support forward slashes?
It just passes them on to Windows like every other program and hence
(pretty much) just works. The only time I've found it not to work is
when you type "cd /" and it doesn't go to the root of the drive you're
in which is a little strange.
If programs attempt to interpret the path and attribute special meaning
to backslashes then they will indeed break, but very few programs seem
to do this.
