Perl will accept both forward and backward slashes on Win32, and the
harness does do the globbing. My patch only deals with the fact that
make is treating "\*" as an escaped asterisk, and unescaping it to just
"*". I add an additional backslash, thus escaping the backslash instead
of the asterisk. Make translates "\\*" to "\*" and all is well.
Yes. But shouldn't in that case the patch convert the backslashes to
just forward slahes - or much better not backslash it in the first place
(and possibly quote the *.t args)?
The patch reverses a wrong action (backslashing) that happens earlier
somewhere in config.
