Kmz files and pathnames on WIN32

On the WIN32 platform, the command
kmz_file->AddFileList(kBaseDir, file_paths);
will changed file_paths containg "slash" (/) to "back slash" (\)
This happens on line 223 in kmz_file.cc 
if (!NormalizeHref(href.get_path(), &normalized_href)) {
and the problem is on line 85 in kml_uri.cc
UriParser::CreateFromParse(uri.c_str()));
which calls
bool UriParser::UriToFilename(const std::string& uri,
                              std::string* output) {
#ifdef WIN32
  return UriToWindowsFilename(uri, output);
#else
  return UriToUnixFilename(uri, output);
#endif
}
This function is responible for the translation from / to \ that is 
unwanted. On page 42 in the KML Handbook it is said that we should always 
use forward slash. A kmz file using back slash does not load into the 
Google Earth client.
