Yes.

Yes (and I think this MUST be done for $wildcard to work correctly,
since glob.c doesn't cope with backslashes very well (them being
escape characters).

Only the value of PATH and Path, I think.  Why do you think you need
to mirror slashes in other variables?

I don't think this is needed.  DJGPP doesn't mirror PATH back to
backslashes, and the problems are minimal to non-existing.
