[Development] About the QtDir::currentPath

[shane.kearns at accenture.com]

There are a number of places in src/corelib/io where "C:/" type paths are handled specially under a windows ifdef.
(or in 4.8 windows/symbian ifdef)

If you want to use windows style paths, you have to add your OS ifdef there as well.
If the native paths are unix style, i'd recommend to use unix style paths everywhere though
