For the curious, Symbian has a C: drive, uses backslashes for pathnames, but 
after Open C it's a mostly Unix system. In fact, Qt 4.6 will treat it as Unix:

	http://qt.gitorious.org/+qt-s60-developers/qt/qt-
s60/blobs/master/src/corelib/global/qglobal.h#line803

The executables are called .exe and the shared libraries are .dll, but they're 
not the Microsoft Windows file format (COFF-PE). Instead, they're modified ELF 
binaries and they use the Itanium C++ ABI.

So, the file names look like Windows, but under the hood it looks more like 
Linux.
