Eliminating this native code would be good although I don't think we'll 
find code that is completely compatible with the existing behavior. For 
example, in addition to normalizing the path separator, it trims 
trailing spaces. If you passed such input to 
FileSystem.getDefault().getPath method it would reject it immediately 
(because trailing spaces are prohibited in directory names). The 
simplest solution is probably to put this trimming in the Windows 
java.lang.ProcessImpl. I don't think it needs to worry about the 
separator because the working directory should already be normalized.
