We should offer users the ability to specify platform dependent path mappings, so that they can specify that everything under a given path should be mapped to a given other path when running under a given platform. Jobtypes would then call a function like "map_to_local_platform" on any paths they are using, which would then see if any applicable mappings are known for this path and return the rewritten path if yes.
This is necessary, because shares / exports from a fileserver cannot be mounted in the same manner and in the same place in Windows and on Linux/Unix.
