Looked at the patch quickly and noticed that it does not support paths
containing colons. Is that an acceptable limitation? The $PATH variable
in most UNIX shells does not support paths with colons either so such
naming of directories is already discouraged.
Feel free to add the patch to the upcoming commitfest when you feel it
is ready for a review.
