You might want to take a look at 2593.dat (including the author ;-). (In your defense, that’s a really old file.)

Having said that, most places in the parts library, backslash (\) is used as the delimiter in path names. However, there are some parts (2593.dat included) that use forward slash (/). DOS and Windows don’t care. Other operating systems have to convert all the backslashes to forward slashes (an extremely minor thing, especially when compared to supporting the case-insensitive clause).

I would suggest either explicitly stating that both are allowed, or thinking about updating those parts in the parts library that use forward slash.
