It may be better to split this into smaller patches, given the fragility of this code. (Basically, one patch for each of your bullet points).

Also, can you elaborate on this part?

> Paths are turned into POSIX-style since some tests and Unix utilities use them for manipulating files. It helps to avoid compiler/linker errors because of broken paths. 

What exactly does it help with? Given that you're canonicalizing to a forward slash, does that mean that some of the tools you use don't accept backslashes (perhaps because they come from cygwin or the like)?
