OS.cwd returns platform specific slashes...

Description

... but some languages need a way to get agnostic slashes. Rather than have every HLL implement this, there should be some way to canonicalize the path, and a way to get the platform-specific path. (This will allow hlls to pick whichever method they prefer.)

I don't particularly care about the implementation, as long as I can make

C:\Tcl\bin>tclsh
% puts [pwd]
C:/Tcl/bin

work.

There are a few minor pitfalls, but I think this would be a good newbie ticket. Iterating over the characters should be a safe way to do this.
