Comment (by knutsp):

 Using DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR instead of chr(92) in the suggested str_replace
 function would be completely pointless. On non-Windows you will then
 replace all occurrences of "/" with "/".

 WordPress core have standardized on using "/" for creating paths, and
 that's how it should be, regardless of the actual DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.

 The only usefulness of constant DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is when parsing paths
 generated by the system, if you prefer not to substitute those before
 parsing.
