Thanks for the help Charles.
I actually ended up just hacking the autoload/netrw.vim file and
surrounding each function call with:
set noshellslash
*function call*
set shellslash
While its not pretty, it works like a charm. Also, I got rid of the
"executable()" condition when attempting to call the MS-DOS commands.
Thanks for your suggestion though. I may try this upgrade down the line.
