Sadly no, because root_name only parses c:\ correctly if the platform is Windows.  Our IDE is hosted on Windows but talks to lldb running on OSX.  I've had this path problem with the DWARF reader and FileSpec - lldb has a core assumption that you only want to support Windows paths if you run on Windows.  At least with FileSpec you can pass a PathSyntax, but you have to choose either Windows or Posix, not both.  We want to support both Posix and Windows style paths.  I've not come up with a clean patch for this problem so none have been submitted.  We should start another thread about how to resolve this problem...

For now, would it be OK to put a FIXME comment in the source?
