I think you'll find that '/' is a perfectly acceptable path separator - the MSVC and mingw C libs understand that '/' is a path separator and do the Right Thing. There are a few (and only a few, now) MS specific functions that still expect a '\', but the vast majority are perfectly happy with either. So it's only when you need to call one of these MS specific functions that it becomes an issue, and in that case it is trivial to scan your string and swap over the separators. I've been doing it this way for years, and so far it's been fine, to the extent that on win32 builds I now explicitly convert the '\' that some of the MS functions return into '/' for consistency. Is there some specific thing you are doing that is actually failing, or are you just anticipating an issue (that may not in fact exist)?
