Research direction

Start by reading the path-browserify implementation and the Node.js path.sep reference linked in the issue. Identify every function that splits or joins values using a hard-coded separator, then verify that the behavior uses the operating system's separator on Windows; the issue is done when Windows path handling matches Node.js.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The separator is hard-coded as '/' but in reality, node also supports windows which has '' as default separator (see http://nodejs.org/api/path.html#path_path_sep ). This should be automatically detected and all fns that split things up depending upon the separator should should the os-proper separator.
