ChefConfig::PathHelper.cleanpath

This is the INVERSE of Pathname#cleanpath, it converts forward
slashes to backwhacks for Windows.  Since the Ruby API and the
Windows APIs all consume forward slashes, this helper function
should only be used for *DISPLAY* logic to send strings back
to the user with backwhacks.  Internally, filename paths should
generally be stored with forward slashes for consistency.  It is
not necessary or desired to blindly convert pathnames to have
backwhacks on Windows.

Generally, if the user isn't going to be seeing it, you should be
using Pathname#cleanpath intead of this function.
