I sent a note about this to Tom and Rod since it's more internal discussion at this point, but we actually may need to figure out how to do that, because right now we have some degree of disconnect between treating Windows paths as actual paths and treating them as file:/ URLs.

You can get away with some things when you use them as URLs that don't work when you try and do path weaving with the Path class.

I'm going to need to review what V2 is doing with IDP_HOME, if anything.
