I've kludged around it for now, by only using the s///i modifier on Windows. There is a half-plan to make all installations relocatable, in part by making all paths in the package database relative to the package database's location. If this is done then we should be able to avoid generating absolute paths in the first place, so we can get rid of this bit of sed completely.
