😀

I think a new, general function would be useful here (it's something
I've sloppily implemented a couple of times before for private usage),
so I've now made a better version and called it 'file-name-split', which
should hopefully work on all systems.  (Actually, I'm not 100% sure
whether there are any systems that use \ for file names internally these
days?)

It's pushed to the trunk now -- can you adjust the patch to use that
instead?
