Single backslash not accepted in File param value

I am disappointed that you do not feel fixing this bug is worthwhile.

I will not re-open this bug, but I'll add these additional comments:

Yes, I was aware of the ability to use forward slashes or doubling up the 
backslashes to make this work.  In my case, I am supporting a GUI which accepts 
user input for a file path which eventually becomes a log4j log file.  So the 
user of my application becomes confused when they enter a valid Windows 
filepath and then do not see the results they expected.  In order to work 
around this deficiency in log4j, I now have to search file path strings, 
looking for single backslashes, and then convert them to double 
backslashes...so that log4j can convert them back into single backslashes!  All 
this, when it's not really necessary or useful to be utilizing the 
convertSpecialChars() method on file path strings.
