Non-portable paths in bbv1

I figured I'd just repeat part of my previous posting, which might be of
more general interest.

The path specification in boost-build.jam is defined using slashes, causing
problems (at least) under VMS, see result of invocation:
------------------
$ mcr [.bin_vms]bjam.exe -n
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
DISK$USER1:[JNI.POSNET.DEPS.BOOST]boost-build.jam attempted to load the
build system by invoking

'boost-build tools/build/v1 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching
DISK$USER1:[JNI.POSNET.DEPS.BOOST]tools/build/v1).

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.
------------------

Apart from this; are there more known places where paths are specified using
"/" directly (foreseeing further problems)? I'm using bbv1 from the 1.31
release.
