3.1.3-SNAPSHOT; I see the Windows Installer corrects this issue by
specifying “/”s instead. 

No (or if I did it was part of the one-off pain), I learnt long ago not to
meddle in the affairs of (a) separators and (b) classpaths because they are
subltle and quick to anger.

My approach has always been to just accept that it sucks, that Oracle really
doesn’t want you to run Java on a Microsoft product (is java.dll still not
rebased?) and you have to live with the pain if you want to run on Windows.
The Installer actually has an explicit action to create a "java-ized"
idp.home because in many cases only forward slashes will do and in others
only back will do. I suppose I'm glad that I don't need a third with the
back slash quoted...

I suppose that we might add a warn somewhere if there was a backslash in
idp.home. (not that that isn't a valid Posix name of course)
