GNU Coding Standards frown upon using "path" for anything except
PATH-style lists of directories. Use "file name" or "leading
directories" instead.

What will this do to text such as the one below?
C:\emacs\bin\prog1.exe on Windows or /usr/bin/prog1 on Unix.

What about Posix-standard /foo/bar/baz, which is the usual case on
Cygwin?
