Currently, tooltool is a python script, but when called from mozharness, it's wrapped with a shell script. What happens is that mozharness gets the msys-style paths, passes them to the shell script, then the shell script calls the python tooltool, and the transition msys->win32 makes that call use windows style paths.

For bug 1313111, I want to replace tooltool with a mach command, and the shell script would go away. Calling a mach command (or python tooltool, for that matter) directly from mozharness with a msys-style path doesn't work.

OTOH, calling the current shell script with a Windows style path (with forward slashes, for good measure) does work, and is future-proof.
Note that in theory, we should be able to replace all the msys paths in the mozharness configs similarly, but I didn't want to scope bloat my patch queue, or having to figure out what might break or not.
